“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
Lord, in April I thank You for the hope of Easter, for the victory of Christ over sin and death. Thank You that the tomb is empty, and because He lives, I too shall live. I rejoice that no matter how dark the night, resurrection morning always comes.
Thank You for forgiveness, for washing away my sins through the blood of Jesus. Thank You for the cross, the greatest expression of love, and for the empty tomb, the assurance of eternal life. Thank You for the hope that anchors me when trials come, reminding me that my Savior has overcome.
Lord, help me to live each day in light of resurrection power—not defeated, but victorious; not fearful, but full of faith. Thank You that the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead lives in me. With gratitude, I declare: “He is risen indeed!”
