Preparation for Sunday Service
For Sunday the 5th of April, 2026 (Feast of the Resurrection of Our Lord)
As we gather for worship to celebrate the Feast of the Resurrection, the Scripture readings will present the fact that Jesus is risen—“He is not here, for he has risen, as he said” (Matthew 28:6)—but they do more. In the first reading Peter explains that because Jesus was crucified and then rose again, “everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name” (Acts 10:43). In the epistle St. Paul helps us reflect on the difference Jesus’ resurrection makes in how we live on earth as we look forward to the glory of life with Christ above. Christ’s resurrection is the seal of God’s approval on his work of redemption. Through faith in him we have passed from death to life. Thank God! Alleluia!
