Jesus, our friend and Redeemer,
on the first Easter Day you stood among your disciples
as the conqueror of sin and death,
and spoke to them of your peace:
Come to us in your risen power
and make us glad with your presence;
and so breathe your Holy Spirit into our hearts
that we may be strong to serve you,
for the glory of your great name.
Amen.
New Testament Reading - All over the world
12Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect: they all have the same Lord who generously gives his riches to all those who ask him for them. 13Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
14But how shall they ask him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? 15And how will anyone go and tell them unless someone sends him? That is what the Scriptures are talking about when they say, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace with God and bring glad tidings of good things.”a In other words, how welcome are those who come preaching God’s Good News!
16But not everyone who hears the Good News has welcomed it, for Isaiah the prophet said, “Lord, who has believed me when I told them?”b 17Yet faith comes from listening to this Good News — the Good News about Christ.
18But what about the Jews? Have they heard God’s Word? Yes, for it has gone wherever they are; the Good News has been told to the ends of the earth.

- See Isaiah 53:1.
