Week of April 8, 2007, Easter, Luke 24: 1-12
The Gospel lesson for this Easter Sunday is from Luke, chapter 24, verses 1 to 12 - the Easter story from Luke:
1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.
5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?
6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:
7 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.'"
8 Then they remembered his words.
9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.
10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles.
11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.
12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.
Jesus, You have risen. You have risen indeed! From death to life, You suffered, crucified on a cross and died – all for us, and You arose, in power, glory and majesty.
In reflecting on this mystery and this miracle, help us to understand this amazing love, and help us to respond with our own thanks and love. Jesus, You are truly alive. You are our Savior and Redeemer.
And today, each day, may we die to our sins and rise to new life, reflecting in our own life Your presence with us. Amen.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you His strength and His great peace. In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
