CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED!

~ Lord of Life and Power, through the mighty resurrection of Your Son, You have overcome the old order of sin and death and have made all things new in Him. May we, being dead to sin  live alive to You in Yeshua Jesus. On that day of Victory, Your faithful proclaimed the Good News  of Yeshua Jesus' resurrection, and the world was changed forever. Teach us to keep faith with them, that our witness may be as bold, our love as deep, and our faith as true. May we share our joy in the gift of salvation Jesus has won for all.
Rejoicing in the name of our Redeemer we pray.  Amen. ~

Holy Saturday 3.30.13

Christ humbled himself still more
by becoming obedient even to death —
death on a stake as a criminal!
 Therefore God raised him to the highest place
and gave Him the name above every name

Philippians 2.8-9

O God,

Creator of heaven and earth,

as the crucified body of your dear Son

 was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath,

so may we await with Him the coming of the third day,

and rise with Him to newness of life;

Who now lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever.

If someone is serving me, let him follow me;
wherever I am, my servant will be there too.
My Father will honour anyone who serves me.

O God,

by the passion of your blessed Son,

you made an instrument of shameful death

to be for us the means of life.

May our lives be so transformed by His passion

that we may witness to His grace;

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever.

Source of Life,

accept all we offer You this day,

and turn us from sin and death,

that we may share in the tree of life,

through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Blessed are You, gracious God,

Creator of heaven and earth;

we give You thanks and praise

through Jesus Christ our Lord,

who for our salvation became obedient unto death.

The tree of defeat became the tree of victory;

where life was lost, life has been restored.

Therefore with angels and archangels

and all the heavenly chorus,

we cry out to proclaim the glory of Your Name.

Faithful God,

may we who share this banquet

glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,

our salvation, life, and hope,

who reigns as Lord now and for ever.
Amen.

Monday in Holy Week 3.25.13

This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

Isaiah 42.1-9
Psalm 36.5-10

"In Your Light, O God, we see Light."

Hebrews 9.11-15

John 12.1-11

Ruler of all creation,

your Son was anointed with costly oil

in preparation for death and the grave.

Receive all we offer you this day

for the sake of Him who died that we might live,

Yeshua, Jesus Christ the Lord.

Blessed are you, gracious God,

creator of heaven and earth;

we give you thanks and praise

through Yeshua, Jesus Christ our Lord,

who for our sins was lifted high upon the cross,

that he might draw the whole world to himself.

By his suffering and death,

he became the source of eternal salvation

for all who put their trust in him.

Therefore with all the host of heaven

who gather around your throne and the Lamb,

we raise our voices

to proclaim the Glory of Your Name.

. . .

Help us to follow in the path of Him

who came to open the eyes of the blind

and bring prisoners out of darkness,

Yeshua, Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
