Gospel Reading:
The Great Commission

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee,
to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.
When they saw him, they worshiped him;
but some doubted.
Then Jesus came to them and said,
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always,
to the very end of the age.”

(Matthew 28:16-20).

* * *

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us:
He has given us of his Spirit.

(1 John 4:13 NIV)

Gospel Reading:
The Guards’ Report

While the women were on their way,
some of the guards went into the city
and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan,
they gave the soldiers a large sum of money,
 telling them, “You are to say,
‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’
If this report gets to the governor,
we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed.
And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
(Matthew 28:11-15).

* * *

The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them.
And this is how we know that he lives in us:
We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

LORD God,
when I am down,
I cry to you for help.
You are my hope when all hope is gone.
Come to me in the dark times of my life.
At such times I need you the most.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Has Risen

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

There was a violent earthquake,
for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and,
going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.
His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

The angel said to the women,
“Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
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:
‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee.
There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

So the women hurried away from the tomb,
afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
 
Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said.
They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.
 
Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid.
Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
(Matthew 28:1-10).

* * *

The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them.
And this is how we know that he lives in us:
We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time

Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem.
On the way,
he took the Twelve aside and said to them,
“We are going up to Jerusalem,
and the Son of Man will be delivered over
to the chief priests and the teachers of the law.
They will condemn him to death
and will hand him over to the Gentiles
to be mocked and flogged and crucified.
On the third day he will be raised to life!”

(Matthew 20:17-19).

* * *

Dear friends,
 if our hearts do not condemn us,
we have confidence before God

and receive from him anything we ask, 
because we keep his commands 
and do what pleases him.

(1 John 3:21-22 NIV)

Lord,
you know the troubles and trials

You are my help and my strength.

among the throngs I will praise you
(Psalm 35:18).
Amen.

Standing Firm in Faith

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead,
the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
 
For since death came through a man,
the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
 
For as in Adam all die,
so in Christ all will be made alive.
 
But each in turn:
Christ, the firstfruits;
then, when he comes,
those who belong to him.
 
Then the end will come,
when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father
after he has destroyed all dominion,
authority and power.
 
For he must reign
until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
 
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
(1 Corinthians 15:20-26 NIV)*

The promise of resurrection — photo by David Kitz


The Resurrection Body

Listen, I tell you a mystery:
We will not all sleep,
but we will all be changed—
 
in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound,
the dead will be raised imperishable,
and we will be changed.
 
For the perishable must clothe itself
with the imperishable,
and the mortal with immortality.
 
When the perishable has been clothed
with the imperishable,
and the mortal with immortality,
then the saying that is written will come true:
“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

“Where, O death, is your victory?
    Where, O death, is your sting?”

The sting of death is sin,
and the power of sin is the law.

But thanks be to God!
He gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.

(1 Corinthians 15:51-57 NIV)*

May God bless you in 2026!

New from David Kitz

James—the brother of Jesus—who was this man? What evidence do we have that this “brother of our Lord” even existed?

David Kitz digs deep into archeology, family dynamics, church history, and the biblical texts. What emerges from his research is a portrait of a decisive, pivotal leader who embodied the will and character of Jesus Christ.

But how did James—James the unbeliever—transform to become a leader who changed the course of world history? In these pages you will uncover the answer and rediscover for yourself the life-changing power of the gospel.

Reading: Psalm 47

LORD God,
I thank you for the victory of Jesus!
He is my forerunner.
Help me to live and reign
through Him in my life
today and forever.

Amen.

For what I received I passed on to you
as of first importance:
that Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures,

that he was buried,
that he was raised on the third day
according to the Scriptures,

and that he appeared to Cephas,
and then to the Twelve.

After that,
he appeared to more than five hundred
of the brothers and sisters at the same time,
most of whom are still living,
though some have fallen asleep.

Then he appeared to James,
then to all the apostles,

and last of all he appeared to me also,
as to one abnormally born.

(1 Corinthians 15:3-8), NIV)*

Escaping the Enemy’s Snare

armor, David, deliver, enemy, equipped, faithful, Jesus, Lord, salvation, strong, victory over death

Reading: Psalm 35:7-10
Since they hid their net for me without cause
and without cause dug a pit for me,
may ruin overtake them by surprise—
may the net they hid entangle them,
may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.
Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD
and delight in his salvation.
My whole being will exclaim,
“Who is like you, LORD?
You rescue the poor from those too strong for them,
the poor and needy from those who rob them” (NIV).

1deb1fa7-9017-4760-b53f-a9a481d0c3d7-thumbnail

Reflection
Paul the apostle reminds us that as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are engaged in spiritual warfare. “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand” (Ephesians 6:11-13).

The conflicts that David experienced in the Old Testament, reflected in the words of this portion of Psalm 35, are mirrored in the spiritual warfare experienced by New Testament believers. Make no mistake—the devil and his cohorts have dug a pit to trap you; they spread their nets to ensnare you in sin and degradation. But as was true for David, the LORD has also provided a way of escape for you and me. Once again Paul reminds us of this: “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

The LORD has equipped us with the armor of God and He has provided a way of escape, so then with David we can rejoice in the victory the LORD will bring.

Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and delight in his salvation. My whole being will exclaim, “Who is like you, LORD? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them” (v. 9-10).

Satan is a thief and a robber, who robs us of victory, peace, and joy. But like David and Paul we can overcome. Victory is possible because the victory has already been won for us at the cross, and it was confirmed on resurrection morning at the empty tomb. “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:25).

Response: Heavenly Father, I thank you that you have provided armor so I can stand against the wiles of the devil. I praise you for the power of your holy word. I have victory through your blood, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Your Turn: In your battle against sin are you using “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God?”
