Acts 10:34-43
Then Peter began to speak to them: ‘I truly understand that God shows no
partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is
acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel,
preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. That message spread
throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced:
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he
went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God
was with him. We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in
Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him
on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who
were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose
from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he
is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the
prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives
forgiveness of sins through his name.’
Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24
Give thanks to the Lord who is good;
the
mercy of the Lord endures for ever.
Let Israel now proclaim,
The
mercy of the Lord endures for ever.”
The Lord is my strength and my song,
and has become my salvation.
There
is a sound of exultation and victory
in
the tents of the righteous:
“The mighty hand of the Lord has triumphed!
the
mighty hand of the Lord is exalted!
the
mighty hand of the Lord has triumphed!”
I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of the Lord.
The
Lord has punished me sorely,
but
did not hand me over to death.
Open for me the gates of righteousness;
I will enter them; I will offer thanks to the Lord.
“This
is the gate of the Lord;
those
who are righteous may enter.”
I will give thanks to the Lord who answered me
and has become my salvation.
The
same stone which the builders rejected
has
become the chief cornerstone.
This is the Lord’s doing,
and it is marvellous in our eyes.
On
this day the Lord has acted;
we
will rejoice and be glad in it.
Colossians 3:1-4
If
for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be
pitied.
But in fact Christ has been raised from the
dead, the first fruits of those who have died. For since death came through a
human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being;
for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. But each in his
own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to
Christ. Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father,
after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power. For he must
reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be
destroyed is death.
The Gospel
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:1-10
But
on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the
spices that they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
but when they went in, they did not find the body. While they were perplexed
about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. The women
were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them,
‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.
Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man
must be handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise
again.’ Then they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb, they told
all this to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna,
Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the
apostles. But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe
them. But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the
linen cloths by themselves; then he went home, amazed at what had happened.
The Gospel of Christ.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Sermon
Nicene Creed
Let
us confess our faith, as we say,
We
believe in one God,
the
Father, the Almighty,
maker
of heaven and earth,
of
all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the
only Son of God,
eternally
begotten of the Father,
God
from God, Light from Light,
true
God from true God,
begotten,
not made,
of
one being with the Father.
Through
him all things were made.
For
us and for our salvation he came down from heaven:
by
the power of the Holy Spirit
he
became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and
was made man.
For
our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he
suffered death and was buried.
On
the third day he rose again
in
accordance with the scriptures;
he
ascended into heaven
and
is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He
will come again in glory
to
judge the living and the dead,
and
his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the
Lord, the giver of life,
who
proceeds from the Father.
With
the Father and the Son
he
is worshipped and glorified.
He
has spoken through the prophets.
We
believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We
acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We
look for the resurrection of the dead,
and
the life of the world to come. Amen.

A Better Resurrection
A Better Resurrection – Christina
Rossetti
I have no wit, no words, no tears;
My heart within me like a stone
Is numb'd too much for hopes or fears;
Look right, look left, I dwell alone;
I lift mine eyes, but dimm'd with grief
No everlasting hills I see;
My life is in the falling leaf:
O Jesus, quicken me.
My life is like a faded leaf,
My harvest dwindled to a husk:
Truly my life is void and brief
And tedious in the barren dusk;
My life is like a frozen thing,
No bud nor greenness can I see:
Yet rise it shall—the sap of Spring;
O Jesus, rise in me.
My life is like a broken bowl,
A broken bowl that cannot hold
One drop of water for my soul
Or cordial in the searching cold;
Cast in the fire the perish'd thing;
Melt and remould it, till it be
A royal cup for Him, my King:
O Jesus, drink of me.
