The rock trembled before you and the mighty soldiers became paralyzed with fear. The earth heaved and the grave did give up its possession. Christ our King walked forth victoriously. None could stop his conquest.
So we shout this morning with songs of praise to our mighty Deliverer. We rejoice in his redemption. While others wallow under the grip of death, we sing songs of gladness and joy. For a door has been opened to us and heaven’s gates cannot be closed to the chosen of God.
Therefore we confess the Day of the Lord. This day is yours. You have set it apart for yourself and you sanctified it with the resurrection of Your Son.
So let a resurrection occur today. May the deadness of our sin be continually overcome and may we rise with new obedience because your life giving Word has come to rest in our hearts.
