Lord,
How easily we forget the cross. We celebrate our own strength, forgetting that only in your weakness are we ever strong. Only because of your wisdom are we ever bright. Only in you do we have hope and life and peace.
How easily we forget the darkness of the tomb. Only two weeks ago we sat in darkness, between the crucifixion and Easter, waiting.
How easily we forget the empty tomb. So often we believe our joy comes from within, when the truth is that any joy we have should come from you and the glorious Easter victory you won. Our life is about you and your glory! May we join with the rocks and the trees and the birds and shout out in glory, Jesus Christ is Lord!
Amen.
