Hosea 6:1-3
“On the third day he rose again.”
“Come, let us return to the Lord;
for it is he who has torn, and he will heal us;
he has struck down, and he will bind us up.
After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.
Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord;
his appearing is as sure as the dawn;
he will come to us like the showers,
like the spring rains that water the earth.”
Hosea 6:1-3
How did Jesus fulfill these words these words of the prophet Hosea?
What does it look like for us to “press on to know the Lord?”
Look outside. Where do you see signs of springtime? Join with the earth in celebrating Jesus’ resurrection.
PRAYER FOR THIS WEEK
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ! You built your cross as a bridge over death, so that departed souls might pass from the realm of death to the realm of life. Glory to you! You put on the body of a mortal man and made it the source of life for all mortal human beings. You are alive! Your murderers handled your life like farmers: they sowed it like grain deep in the earth, for it to spring up and raise with itself a multitude! Raise us with you, we pray. Amen!
