John 1; Acts 2

Hallelujah. Lord Jesus, you are the Word. You took on flesh and came into this world. Through you, all who believe you are the Messiah and who receive you as their Lord are born of God. You dwell among us.

You are God’s Christ, and that was attested to by miracles, wonders, and signs as you dwelt in our midst. You were delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, our father.

You, Lord Jesus, were taken by lawless hands, crucified, and put to death. Then God raised you up and loosed you from the pains of death, because it was not possible for death to hold you.

Now, by the grace of God, my father, I see you, Lord Jesus. You are near me, and I am not shaken. My heart rejoices, and my tongue is glad. I rest in hope.

You do not leave me, nor do you allow me to see corruption. You make known to me the way of life. I am full of joy in your presence.
