Collect of the Day
Lord of life and power, through the mighty resurrection of your Son, you
have overcome the old order of sin and death and have made all things
new in him. May we, being dead to sin and alive to you in Jesus Christ,
reign with him in glory, who with you and the Holy Spirit is alive, one
God, now and for ever. Amen.
A Reading from the Book of Acts.
Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no
partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right
is acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel,
preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. That message spread
throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John
announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and
with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses to all that
he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging
him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to
appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as
witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He
commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one
ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets
testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness
of sins through his name.
Acts 10:34-43
A Reading from the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians
If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to
be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits
of those who have died. For since death came through a human being, the
resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; for as all
die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. But each in his own
order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to
Christ. Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the
Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last
enemy to be destroyed is death.
1 Corinthians 15:19-26
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.
On the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking
the spices that they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from
the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body. While they
were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood
beside them. The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the
ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living
among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told
you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed
over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.” Then
they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb, they told all
this to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told
this to the apostles. But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and
they did not believe them. But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping
and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; then he went
home, amazed at what had happened.
