Easter (1) PRES: But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, CONG: because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. PRES: But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. CONG: Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord PRES: While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." CONG: They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. PRES: He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? CONG: Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; PRES: a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." CONG: But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. PRES: Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" CONG: "Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world." I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lod, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.†8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. 9 Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11 But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.
