God of mercy, we no longer look for Jesus among the dead, for he is alive and has become the Lord of life. From the waters of death you raise us with him and renew your gift of life within us. Increase in our minds and hearts the risen life we share with Christ, and help us to grow as your people toward the fullness of eternal life with you, through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
My favorite verse in the Resurrection accounts is from the Gospel of Luke, read at the Easter Vigil every third year. The angels say to the women who have come to anoint the body of Jesus, “Why do you seek the living one among the dead? He is not here, but he has been raised.” pic.twitter.com/teapKDo8lO
