The Resurrection of our Lord – Divine Service

 

From catastrophic death emerges the mighty salvation of God.  Israel witnesses the destruction of its Egyptian adversaries and in revelry sings: the Lord has triumphed gloriously.  The apostle Paul, once a vehement assassin of Christians, marvels that the grace of God grips him and inspires his preaching so that others may believe in Jesus.  Mary is seized with astonishment at the sight of the risen Jesus and proclaims Him “Teacher.”  This is the day for resurrection rejoicing.

 

Exodus 14:10-15:1

1 Corinthians 15:1-11

John 20:1-18

 

Almighty God, through Your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, You overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life. We humbly pray that we may live before You in righteousness and purity forever; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
