A Prayer For Easter

John 11:25-26
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.(NIV) 

Lord, We can never find words to thank You for the ultimate sacrifice You gave. You sent Your son to die for us, and on this day He was risen and showed to the world that You kept Your promise and that You walked this earth with us for awhile, in the form of Your son, then You felt him suffer more torture and pain, not just physical and mental, but all the spiritual pain that we had brought on ourselves for all of the generations of this earth. He took it all, Lord, and wore our stripes. And now we can never be punished for them, so long as we have died to sin and been reborn in You. All men must die, but You arranged it so that we could die while still living our earthly lives so that when our bodies expire, we are merely moving on to our eternal life with You. How could we ever praise You enough, Lord, for something so great it is entirely beyond our comprehension? We praise Your Holy Name, Lord, again and again, because be it only a pittance in return for all Your love, it is all we have.

Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him! Alleluia, Amen!
