Thanks be to God. Our gracious and glorious risen Christ, on this resurrection morning, we ask you to appear in our midst even as you did to your apostles on the first Easter. As you walk among us, Lord, we pray that you would you open our hearts to the meaning of your Scriptures. Help us to see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, and follow thee more nearly, day by day. In your name we pray, Amen.
Easter is a day of joy for old and young alike.
A while ago my wife, Becky, and I were talking with a dear friend who was going through difficult times. My problem is remembering the resurrection as I go through my day. If we are here today, we most likely believe in the resurrection. Let's have a show of hands if you believe that Jesus of Nazareth was raised from the dead by God. If you are like me, the problem is remembering the difference the resurrection can make as we go through our day.
