Reading from the Word

Hosea 6:1-6 Matthew 28:1-10

Readings from the Heavenly Doctrines

Arcana Clestia 400 [14]

. It is recorded also in the Word that there was an earthquake when the

Lord suffered upon the cross, and also when the angel descended and

rolled away the stone from the mouth of the sepulcher; and each of these

earthquakes signified a change in the state of the church. Of the earth-

quake that occurred when the Lord suffered it is thus written:

The veil in the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and

the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent. The centurion and they that

were with him guarding Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that

were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God

(Matt. 27:51, 54). And of the earthquake that occurred when the angel

descended and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the sepulcher it is

said:

When Mary Magdalene came and the other Mary to see the sepulcher, and

behold, there was a great earthquake; for the angel of the Lord descended

from heaven, and coming, rolled away the stone from the mouth, and sat

upon it (Matt. 28:1-2). These earthquakes occurred to indicate that the

state of the church was then changed; for the Lord by His last temptation,

which He endured in Gethsemane and upon the cross, conquered the hells,

and put in order all things there and in the heavens, and also glorified His

Human, that is, made it Divine; for this reason "there was an earthquake,

and the rocks were rent."

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy King-

dom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day

our daily bread. And forgive our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For Thine is the

Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever. Amen.

Doxology

To Jesus Christ be glory given

By all on Earth and all in Heaven.

Let His dominion wide extend.His glorious Kingdom have no end.

Affirmation of FaithWe worship the One God, the Lord the Savior Jesus Christ; in

whom is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; whose humanity is divine.He came into the world and took our nature upon him. He endured tempta-

tion, even to the Passion of the Cross. He overcame the hells, and so deliv-

ered all. Without this, no mortal could have been saved; and they are saved

who believe in Him, and keep the commandments of His Word. This is His

commandment; that we love one another, as he has loved us.
