Daily Affirmations - Day 4 - Christ is Risen Indeed - Remember How He Told You

Day 4: Remember how He told you

He has caused His wonders to be remembered

The two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning… said to [the women], “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you, while He was still with you in Galilee: The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’” Then they remembered His words (Luke 24:4, 5, 6-7).

Almighty and eternal God,

merciful Father,

You gave your Son

for our sins,

and raised Him up again

for our righteousness.

Through Him You have overcome death

and have opened up for us the way to eternal life.

Through Your Holy Spirit,

grant that we may rely on this in true faith,

that our bodies also will arise

with Christ to eternal life,

and that by remembering this comfort

we may endure

all kinds of sorrow in this life

with patience

through the power of the resurrection

of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,

who with You and the Holy Spirit

lives and reigns,

forever and ever.

Amen.

~ Martin Luther ~

Christ is risen, hallelujah!

Blessed morn of life and light!

Lo, the grave is rent asunder,

Death is conquered through His might.

Refrain:

Christ is risen, hallelujah!

Gladness fills the world today;

From the tomb that could not hold Him,

See, the stone is rolled away!

Christ is risen, hallelujah!

Friends of Jesus, dry your tears;

Through the veil of gloom and darkness,

Lo, the Son of God appears!

Christ is risen, hallelujah!

He has risen, as He said;

He is now the King of glory,

And our great exalted Head.

~ Frances J. Crosby ~ pub. 1891
