Now in the midst of the Easter season we continue to consider scripture where Jesus encounters the disciples and they try to come to terms with the Resurrection. Consider what the Resurrection means to us. It's not just the 'happy ending' to the story, but should have direct implications on how we understand ourselves and our lives today. Jesus tells the disciples, 'you are witnesses of these things.' What do we give witness to? Consider Luke 24.36-48. We will also read Acts 3.13-15, part of Peter's interpretation of a healing in Jesus' name. Here is the prayer for the day:
Almighty God of goodness and grace, you have set us apart to be witnesses to the new life of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Lead us in the ways of righteousness to proclaim repentance and forgiveness of sins in his name. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit: One God. Amen.
