Epistle: Acts: 1:1-8 In the first book, O Theophilos, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach,
until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles
whom he had chosen. To them he presented himself alive after his passion by any proofs, appearing to them
during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God. And while staying with them he charged them not to
depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me, for John
baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit." So when they had come
together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom of Israel?" He said to them, "It is not
for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you shall receive power
when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and
Samaria and to the end of the earth."

Gospel: John 1:1-17 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He
was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that
was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness
has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came for testimony, to bear
witness to the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the
light. The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world
was made through him, yet the world knew him not. He came to his own home, and his own people received
him not. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God;
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word
became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son
from the Father.
(John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me,
for he was before me.'") And from his fullness have we all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given
through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

HOLY PASCHA: The Resurrection of Our Lord
Pascha (Easter)
Enjoy ye all the feast of faith; receive ye all the riches of lovingkindness.
(Sermon of St John Chrysostom, read at Paschal Matins)
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the center of the
Christian faith. St Paul says that if Christ is not raised from the dead,
then our preaching and faith are in vain (I Cor. 15:14). Indeed,
without the resurrection there would be no Christian preaching or
faith. The disciples of Christ would have remained the broken and
hopeless band which the Gospel of John describes as being in hiding behind locked doors for
fear of the Jews. They went nowhere and preached nothing until they met the risen Christ,
the doors being shut (John 20: 19). Then they touched the wounds of the nails and the spear;
they ate and drank with Him. The resurrection became the basis of everything they said and
did (Acts 2-4): “. . . for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have” (Luke 24:39).
The resurrection reveals Jesus of Nazareth as not only the expected Messiah of Israel, but as
the King and Lord of a new Jerusalem: a new heaven and a new earth.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. . . the holy city, new Jerusalem. And I heard a
great voice from the throne saying “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with men. He will
dwell with them, and they shall be his people. . . He will wipe away every tear from their
eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any
more, for the former things have passed away (Rev. 21:1-4).
In His death and resurrection, Christ defeats the last enemy, death, and thereby fulfills the
mandate of His Father to subject all things under His feet (I Cor. 15:24-26).
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and
honor and glory and blessing (Rev. 5: 12)
THE FEAST OF FEASTS
The Christian faith is celebrated in the liturgy of the Church. True celebration is always a
living participation. It is not a mere attendance at services. It is communion in the power of
the event being celebrated. It is God’s free gift of joy given to spiritual men as a reward for
their self-denial. It is the fulfillment of spiritual and physical effort and preparation. The
resurrection of Christ, being the center of the Christian faith, is the basis of the Church’s
liturgical life and the true model for all celebration. This is the chosen and holy day, first of
sabbaths, king and lord of days, the feast of feasts, holy day of holy days. On this day we
bless Christ forevermore (Irmos 8, Paschal Canon).
