(Passages
that we will refer to in next Sunday's worship)
Psalm
16
O God, You are
our strong hope. We thank You for Your church. We are together in
Christ. We will not follow other gods. You are our portion. Our
inheritance is beautiful. You are with us and our hearts are glad.
You have heard the prayer of Your Holy Son. We have eternal
pleasures at Your right hand forevermore.
Genesis 22
Lord
God, You tested Abraham. You gave him a child. That child was
Yours, just as Abraham was Yours. You asked Him to sacrifice his
only son, this child of the promise, Isaac. He reasoned that You
would provide a substitute for his son, and that You could raise the
dead. You held him back from slaughtering the boy, yet he proved
that he feared You and loved You above all. May we also fear You,
and entrust our children to You. For Your Son is the great provision
for our salvation. He has taken our place and faced Your wrath, and
He has surely risen from the dead. In Him the earth shall be
blessed. In Him we have a perfect hope.
Luke 24
Sovereign
Lord, the stone, the guards, and the seal could not keep Your Son in
the grave. He is risen! Thank You for the faithful testimony that
we have to the truth of this wonderful event. What marvelous things
took place in Jerusalem at that time. Your Son was condemned to
death and crucified. On the third day He rose again. This was all
according to the Word of the Prophets. Christ suffered and entered
into His glory. Now we see and confess that all of the Scriptures
teach us about the great things of Jesus. May Your Son be known to
us by Word and sacrament. Grant that we too will partake of the
promised resurrection. Cast far away from us all doubt concerning
the events recorded in Your holy Word. Everything written in all of
the books of the Bible must be fulfilled. Now Your Son has ascended
into heaven, and we are blessed with the great gift of Your Holy
Spirit poured out upon Your church. Strengthen us by faith as we
seek Your help day by day.
