Opening Prayer
You died that we might be forgiven, Lord; but that was not the end. You plundered death, and made its jail-house shudder - strode into life to meet Your startled friends.
We have a dream that all the world will meet You, and know You, Jesus, in Your living power, *
that someday soon all people everywhere will hear Your story, and hear it in a way they understand.

No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. *
They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign for ever and ever.
Response to the Scripture
Who is like you, Oh God? Perfect in wisdom, unlimited in power - you will not relent until you fully accomplish the purposes of your heart.
