Resurrection Sunday

Resurrection Sunday or Easter, we reach the culmination of Holy Week. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important event of the Christian faith. The very foundation of all Christian doctrine hinges on the truth of this account.

Early Sunday morning, several women (Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Salome, and Mary the mother of James) went to the tomb and discovered that the large stone covering the entrance had been rolled away. An angel announced:

"Don't be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn't here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen." Matthew 28:5-6

Lord Jesus, Just as You rose from the dead, I ask that You raise me from the things that keep me bound—sin, fear, and doubt. Let the same power that brought You back to life work in me, transforming my heart, mind, and spirit. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and guide me in Your truth. In Your name, I pray, Amen.
