RESURRECTION
Easter Sunday
EXODUS 33:14 (NLT)
The Lord replied, “I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest—everything will be fine for you.”
JOHN 14:19 (MSG)
In just a little while the world will no longer see me, but you’re going to see me because I am alive and you’re about to come alive.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Because Jesus lives we'll be alive with him and everything will work out for the good.
PRAYER
Hallelujah! We celebrate your resurrection, dear Savior. Thank you for sacrificing your life to restore ours. Thank you for breaking the power of hell so that we don't have to live it. I confess that I'm slow to adapt to this new life but with your ongoing intervention I'm going to live a resurrection life with you. Amen.
*ABOUT THE
DAILY TEXTS
The Daily Texts have been published by the Moravian Church since 1731. In 2011 I started posting these Bible verses for my spiritual formation students at Pacific Islands University. In the process of responding to the verses, I found the rhythm of looking for a common thread and writing a prayer based on that key idea to be helpful for my own soul. The prayers are more or less modeled on the TRIP method, which is what I ask my students to do in their journaling. ~ Brad Boydston
