Leader: The tomb is empty - Christ is risen!
People: He is risen indeed!
Leader: The stone is rolled away, and new life has begun.
People: But the risen Christ does not remain at the tomb.
Leader: He meets us in the ordinary places of life.
People: On the shoreline, in our work, in our waiting - He is present.
Leader: He provides for our needs and calls us to follow.
People: In faith, we step forward like Peter, into the unknown.
Leader: We confess, “It is the Lord!” and we come to Him.
People: Come, then - leave the empty tomb behind.
Leader: Let us worship the risen Jesus Christ, and live as resurrection people.
