“He is not here, He has risen”
Jesus is risen, Jesus is Lord
The one who was mocked and killed is King of Kings, is Lord. He is the first born from the dead, risen as he said, the source of our hope as we journey through this valley of tears. We pray for grace to accept the mercy offered to us in this Year of Mercy and enter into his Easter joy.
