(Audio)
Then the other disciple also went in,
the one who had arrived at the tomb first,
and he saw and believed.
The tomb is empty, alleluia!
For they did not yet understand the Scripture
that he had to rise from the dead.
We have been taught by the Holy Spirit to understand, alleluia!
Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Because he has risen we have new life, alleluia!
And so, because Jesus Christ rose from the time "everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness through his name." Because death could not hold him he is the one "appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead."
The resurrection on the third day was not visible to all. Not all are yet witnesses to it. But we are "chosen by God in advance" to be witnesses to his resurrection.
We have seen the LORD, alleluia!
Let us swell the chorus of alleluias today. For without this day that the Lord has made what good would life be to us? What other joy, what greater hope have we than we see in the empty tomb this morning?
“The right hand of the LORD has struck with power;
the right hand of the LORD is exalted.
I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of the LORD.”
Jesus Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
