Hallelujah to the Lamb! Thank You for the eternal victory through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our Savior lives forevermore. We have been fully redeemed. The wrath of God has passed over from us because of the finished work of the Lord. We rejoice and exalt You, Almighty God.

R-61 CHRIST’S RESURRECTION 基督的復活
Matthew 28:1-10; 1 Corinthians 15:20 (NKJV)
Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”
So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Song of Response
Worship Through Prayer
O Lord, I belong to no one else but You. Let me be faithful to love and honor You with the way I live this earthly life. Thank You for Your Word by it I know what pleases and displeases You. I endeavor to live a life that is pleasing to you always. Help me because on my own it'll be impossible. I need You to be able to do well in loving You.
Lord, I want to know Your Word. Give me wisdom to understand. Let Your Holy Spirit guide me as I study the Bible. I want to grow towards spiritual maturity wherein I am able to rightly handle Your Word. Give me a humble and willing heart to be taught and learn. I want to make time to study the Bible. Forgive me for not making it a priority. Help me do it now and persevere without giving up.
Heavenly Father, let me remain in You as I abide in Christ through Your Holy Spirit. I surrender to You my whole life. I do not want to continue taking this life as if it is my own. I have died in Christ. It is Christ who lives in me. Lord, help me align everything to Your will. Please guide me, and as You do so, help me to trust and obey fully. Thank You.
