O God, who by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light: Grant that we, who have been raised with him, may abide in his presence and rejoice in the hope of eternal glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be dominion and praise for ever and ever. Amen.

ReplyDeleteRejoice in the hope of eternal glory - that is the one day that I long for. When the trappings of this life and the sin that so easily entangles me will no longer weigh me down. Oh, that you might come back any day in all your glory to reign again. Jesus come. Lord Jesus, come.
