The Fifth Sunday in Lent – Divine Service

 

Decaying skeletons are revived in hearing the prophesies of God.  Graveyards are opened; the dead are raised – and the Lord does it all!  Lifeless creatures respond to the breath of the Holy Spirit.  Hostile flesh wars against God and dies, but those continually revived by the Spirit live in peace.  Dead Lazarus is three days entombed in stench, and yet, when Jesus speaks, he rises, he lives!  Lazarus sheds the shroud of death, and the Lord has done it all!

 

 

Almighty God, by Your great goodness mercifully look upon Your people that we may be governed and preserved evermore in body and soul; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
