Awake, O Sleeper

“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

"“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

"Since you have been raised to new life with Christ"

"conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ."

"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind" and

"fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame"

"that your sins might be wiped out."

"Offer your bodies as living sacrifices,"

and "do everything for the glory of God."

"Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."

Amen.
