Easter choral reading

Based on Matthew, Luke and 1 Corinthians

LEADER:

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

LEADER: The angel said to the women

ANGEL: Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

ANGEL: He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples.

ALL:He has risen from the dead!

ANGEL: Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here;

ALL:He has risen!

LEADER:Christ has indeed been raised

from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

ALL: He is risen! Hallelujah!

LEADER:The body that is sown is

perishable,

ALL:It is raised imperishable;

LEADER:

It is sown in dishonor,

ALL:It is raised in glory;

LEADER:It is sown in weakness,

ALL:It is raised in power;

LEADER:

It is sown a natural body,

ALL:It is raised a spiritual body.

LEADER: Thanks be to God!

ALL: He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
