For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And suddenly there was a great earthquake for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.Īfter the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. The death he died, he died to sin, once for all but the life he lives, he lives to God. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again death no longer has dominion over him.
But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. The house of Jacob from a people of strange speech,ĥ What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? *Ħ You mountains, that you skipped like rams? *ħ Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, *Ĩ Who turned the hard rock into a pool of water *ĭo you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. Amen.Īlmighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord's resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. O God, who made this most holy night to shine with the glory of the Lord's resurrection: Stir up in your Church that Spirit of adoption which is given to us in Baptism, that we, being renewed both in body and mind, may worship you in sincerity and truth through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
O God, who for our redemption gave your only-begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
