A Prayer For Easter
How wonderful, how marvelous, is Your love, Jesus! To think that You were willing to go through that
for me!
What a day of rejoicing that must have been when You rose and realized it was all over--You had won
the victory! You had accomplished Your mission. You had made the way for the world to be saved. You
had gone through the horrors of Hell and death for us, and it was over.
You arose in victory, joy, liberation, and freedom from the hands of evil men, never to have to go
through that again--and You did it all to spare us the same. Now we can say with the apostle Paul, "O
death, where is your sting? O Hades [grave], where is your victory?" (1 Corinthians 15:55-57).
As I think of the seemingly terrible defeat that You suffered and how it resulted in such a tremendous
victory, it fills me with wonder and gives me such hope and peace. Surely You and Your love will see
me through whatever troubles may come my way, from now till eternity!
Amen.
