Acts 2:24
But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.

What a great feeling, when you are able to finish something that you have spent time, effort and tears. And so, the Lord remarked “It is finished”, before giving up His spirit in the first Good Friday.
And imagine how much more did the Lord Jesus achieved and felt when He completed His God’s promise for our salvation. Humility, love and sacrifice beyond anything else. Doing something not to exalt Himself, but to raise us up beyond life that we have now.
Jesus conquered death and darkness so we may see the light and live in the light. Let us raise our lives to Him so we may continue to live in His love. He is the salvation and eternal life.
Our entire observance of Lent was for this day - to honor the Risen King! Come, let us worship Him! And as we celebrate Easter, may we never forget His sacrifice so we may join Him and the Father eternally.
Come then, my brothers and sisters, let us offer our Lord the great and all-embracing sacrifice of our love, pouring out our treasury of hymns and prayers before him who offered his cross in sacrifice to God for the enrichment of us all.
Let us pray +
Lord Jesus, all power in heaven and on earth has been given to You. May we go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit as we put our trust and faith in You until the end of the age. Amen +
Keep me safe, O God; you are my hope.
