That Jesus was raised from the dead can never be proved, only believed.

It is the empty tomb which finally fulfills this psalm, granting us joy in his presence and eternal pleasures at his right hand where Jesus Christ is seated in glory.

Fill us with your Spirit that we might be your ambassadors in all places.

Send your Holy Spirit that my life may always be oriented around the beauty of who you are.

Though you were abandoned to suffer the worst humanity conceived of, you offered me your best gift—eternal life.

Beloved Jesus, your resolve through the taunts and torture on Good Friday were a demonstration of your perfect love and divine holiness.

The descent of your Son shows me the true nature of your power—that of humility and self-emptying.

Send your Spirit to remove any idols vying for reign, and to enthrone you, King Jesus, as the rightful ruler of my life.

Just as the creation of Adam and Eve into a one-flesh relationship marked the beginning of the whole history of humanity, so the marriage of Christ and his church will mark the beginning of the New Creation.

Though he was King of the universe, for our sake he was crucified. He experienced the worst reception—that of a criminal—but was received to glory by you.
