The Day God Ran

Louie Giglio

April 4, 2021

For centuries, human beings have been running, pushing the ability of our bodies to go further and faster. We’ve set remarkable records at great and short distances, but the greatest distance ever covered was the gap that God ran through to get to us. This Easter message from Louie Giglio shows us the story of the Prodigal Son in a context you’ve never heard before.

Scripture References

1Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.

2So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

3So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.

4Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.

5He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in.

6Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there,

7as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen.

8Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.

So he got up and went to his father.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
