Old Testament:  Isaiah 65:17-25  (NIV) - Mr. Bill Maclin

(God creates a new heaven and a new earth.)

---

 New Heavens and a New Earth

 ¹⁷ "Behold, I will create
       new heavens and a new earth.
       The former things will not be remembered,
       nor will they come to mind.

 ¹⁸ But be glad and rejoice forever
       in what I will create,
       for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight
       and its people a joy.

 ¹⁹ I will rejoice over Jerusalem
       and take delight in my people;
       the sound of weeping and of crying
       will be heard in it no more.

 ²⁰ "Never again will there be in it
       an infant who lives but a few days,
       or an old man who does not live out his years;
       he who dies at a hundred
       will be thought a mere youth;
       he who fails to reach ^[a] a hundred
       will be considered accursed.

 ²¹ They will build houses and dwell in them;
       they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

 ²² No longer will they build houses and others live in them,
       or plant and others eat.
       For as the days of a tree,
       so will be the days of my people;
       my chosen ones will long enjoy
       the works of their hands.

 ²³ They will not toil in vain
       or bear children doomed to misfortune;
       for they will be a people blessed by the LORD,
       they and their descendants with them.

 ²⁴ Before they call I will answer;
       while they are still speaking I will hear.

 ²⁵ The wolf and the lamb will feed together,
       and the lion will eat straw like the ox,
       but dust will be the serpent's food.
       They will neither harm nor destroy
       on all my holy mountain,"
       says the LORD.

Epistle:  1 Corinthians 15:19-26  (NIV) - Mr. Bill Maclin

(We Have hope because God has risen.)

---

¹⁹If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.

 ²⁰But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. ²¹For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. ²²For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. ²³But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. ²⁴Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. ²⁵For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. ²⁶The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

Holy Gospel: Luke 24:1-12  (NIV) - Rev. Mark Goble 

(The tomb is empty.)

The Resurrection

 ¹On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. ²They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, ³but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. ⁵In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? ⁶He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ⁷'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " ⁸Then they remembered his words.

 ⁹When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. ¹⁰It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. ¹¹But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. ¹²Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.
