Prayer:
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. Amen.
SONG: BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD
He's carried all our sorrows and griefs
He was bruised for our iniquities
He bore all of our shame and made our cries
Forsaken and was pierced into his side
Behold The Lamb of God who takes away our sins
Behold the Word who came both son of God and man
Behold The Lamb of God spotless He was slain
But death was not His equal there’s victory in His name
Behold the lamb of God
No jewels upon His crown but thorns instead
Mocked and beat and lifted up to death
Pinned up to a cross between two thieves
The perfect son of man was called guilty
Buried in the ground a stone marked grave
But yes that stone would soon be rolled away
The Son of God now stands as glory’s king
His resurrection is our victory
Behold The Lamb of God seated by the throne
Righteousness was His our sin He did atone
Behold The Lamb of God who’s standing in our place
Though we’re not His equals we share His perfect name
Chrysostom’s Paschal Homily
READING OF THE WORD – Matthew 28: 1-10
At the conclusion of the reading, the speaker will say, “The Word of the Lord,” to which we all reply:
Thanks Be To God
SONG: COME BEHOLD HIS WONDROUS MYSTERY
Come behold the wondrous mystery, in the dawning of the King
He the theme of heaven’s praises, robed in frail humanity
In our longing, in our darkness, now the light of life has come
Look to Christ, who condescended, took on flesh to ransom us.
Come behold the wondrous mystery, he the perfect Son of Man
In his living, in his suffering, never trace nor stain of sin
See the true and better Adam, come to save the hell-bound man
Christ the great and sure fulfillment of the law, in him we stand.
Come behold the wondrous mystery, Christ the Lord upon the tree
In the stead of ruined sinners hangs the Lamb in victory
See the price of our redemption, see the Father’s plan unfold
Bringing many sons to glory, grace unmeasured, love untold
Come behold the wondrous mystery, slain by death the God of life
But no grave could e’er restrain him, praise the Lord, He is alive!
What a foretaste of deliverance, how unwavering our hope
Christ in power resurrected, as will we be when he comes.
SONG: KING OF KINGS
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope, without light
'Til from Heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfill the law and prophets
To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross
For even in your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake You died
And the morning that You rose
All of Heaven held its breath
Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who'd come
To the Father are restored
And the church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel, shall not fade
By His blood and in His name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me
Sermon: i am The Resurrection and the life - john 11:25
Communion
SONG: LIVING HOPE
How great the chasm that lay between us, how high the mountain I could not climb.
In desperation, I turned to heaven and spoke Your name into the night.
Then through the darkness, Your loving-kindness tore through the shadows of my soul.
The work is finished, the end is written; Jesus Christ, my living hope
Who could imagine so great a mercy? What heart could fathom such boundless grace?
The God of ages stepped down from glory to wear my sin and bear my shame.
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven. The King of kings calls me His own.
Beautiful Savior, I'm Yours forever; Jesus Christ, my living hope.
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain, there’s salvation in Your name;
Jesus Christ, my living hope!
Then came the morning that sealed the promise,
Your buried body began to breathe.
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
declared the grave has no claim on me. (repeat)
Jesus, Yours is the victory!
DOXOLOGY
Our treasures fame and riches made will wither like grass just the same
The things of earth like dust and sand will pass through all our clutching hands
Our hope is found in Jesus Christ, forevermore He is our prize
Reconciled the souls of man, forgiveness from the Father’s hand
And with the Spirit we are free, and soon all tribes and tongues shall sing,
”Glory be to Christ our King and the Holy Trinity!”
Benediction:
May we be compelled by the love of God, the gospel of Jesus, and the presence of the Holy Spirit to pursue His mission for our good and His glory.
