Our reading today comes from Matthew, chapter 28:

He is risen indeed brothers and sisters.  The greatest news ever to hit humanity.  We have hope.  We have healing.  We have the promise of everlasting life.  Let us encourage one another to take the Great Commission seriously.  How will you share this life-giving message with those around you?  This is our most basic calling…

Gracious Lord,

I believe in You.  I believe in Your resurrection.  I trust in Your promises.  Help me to be an Easter person every day this year.  Teach me to be an evangelist worthy of being called one of Your own.  

In the name of the risen Savior I pray,

Amen
