Father and God, Lord and Master, we thank You now for yet another Lord’s Day. You have given us life and light and grace, and we rejoice before You in Your great kindness. You have given us new life, when we as a people were lost in sin, and You have restored us to Your covenant through our Savior, Jesus Christ. We thank You for His death on our behalf, and we rejoice in His resurrection, which was for our justification. We commemorate that resurrection, the basis of our right standing before You, every Lord’s Day, every weekly Easter, and we praise Your holy name.
We do this in Jesus’ name, and amen.
