Resurrection Day: He’s Overcome Death, Jesus Is Alive!
Lord, thank You that You really are alive and that, someday, we’ll see You with our own eyes. Help us understand how astounding this day is and all that it means.
We love that Your resurrection isn’t just an ancient miracle. You defeated death, our greatest enemy, and You continue to give us victory over every other enemy and threat, including things we’re afraid of or feeling defeated by right now. Your Holy Spirit helps us defeat the ways of sin and death every day of our lives.
Give us Your power to conquer, as You did.
“Lord Jesus Christ, You have triumphed over the powers of death and prepared for us a place in the New Jerusalem. Grant that we, who have this day given thanks for Your resurrection, may praise You in that city where You are the light and where You live and reign forever and ever. Amen.” (Original from Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals)
