Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. Luke 24:46–47 ESV

Prayer: Dear God, I cast myself at the foot of the cross, anguishing at my exceeding sinfulness and astonished by the infinity of my mercies. I plead your precious promises, and earnestly pray to you to grant my heart more love, more humility, more faith, more hope, more peace, and more joy. In short, to fill me with the fullness of God, and make me worthy to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints. Then shall I also be better in all the relations of life in which I am now so imperfect, my light will shine before men, and I shall exalt the doctrine of my Savior in all things. Amen. Adapted, William Wilberforce (1759 – 1833)
