A Resurrection Prayer - April 20 2025
from Erindale Bible Chapel Hosted by Erindale Bible Chapel
Resurrection Sunday. It was this day in history when God raised Jesus from the dead, declaring victory over sin, Satan, and death itself. Building off our message on Good Friday, we come to a beautiful and powerful benediction in Hebrews 13:20-21. In these verses, the writer of Hebrews offers a prayer for God’s people — a prayer that rests entirely on one great truth: the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It’s easy to pass by these words quickly, but here we find the heart of Christian hope and strength. The prayer begins by calling on “the God of peace,” who brought Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, back from the dead. And this resurrection isn’t just a historical event to be remembered — it’s the very foundation for everything this prayer asks God to do in us. It’s because Christ lives that we can be equipped to do God’s will. It’s because Christ lives that what pleases God can be worked out in our lives. The resurrection is not an afterthought — it is the fountain of peace, power, and purpose for God’s people.
