Amen.

Hymn of the Week:

If Christ Had Not Been Raised from Death LSB 486

If Christ had not been raised from death
Our faith would be in vain,
Our preaching but a waste of breath,
Our sin and guilt remain.
But now the Lord is ris’n indeed;
He rules in earth and heav’n:
His Gospel meets a world of need-
In Christ we are forgiv’n.

v. 1
