A Prayer To The One Who Defied Death

Jesus, Your mission on earth in obedience to the Father, ultimately led to Your obedience of death on the cross. But on the third day, You defied death and rose to life again. Your resurrected body was identified by the nail scars visible in Your hands and Your feet. Nails were driven into Your innocent body by our sinful hearts, for when we were dead in our trespasses and sins You died for us, the ungodly. How undeserving we are of Your sacrificial death and the Father’s gift of eternal life. With humble hearts, we receive this tremendous gift of salvation with hearts of gratitude and rejoicing. Amen.
