ALLELUIA THE LORD IS RISEN! THE LORD IS RISEN INDEED, ALLELUIA!
Welcome to our Worship for Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021.
ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!
The Readings:
Acts 10:34-43; Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24; 1Corinthians 15:1-11; John 20:1-18
Isaiah provides one of the very rare First Testament passages containing an explicit promise of the abolition of death, placed on Easter Day among the classical Second Testament resurrection stories. Both Paul’s letter to the ancient church in Corinth and Peter’s speech in Acts contain creedal summaries of the meaning of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus; the Gospel story tells of the discovery of the empty tomb.
Questions for Reflection:
Paul’s claim about Christ Jesus in Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth is a creed: Christ died, was buried, was raised, and appeared to many disciples and finally to Paul, who writes, “by the grace of God I am what I am”. If you were to say those words to yourself, what would it mean that everything about you – all you are and have done – is “by the grace of God”? Where is God’s grace evident in your life today?
