This is the most blessed Sabbath on which CHRIST sleeps, but on the third day He shall rise again. Therefore, O LORD our GOD, we sing to You a hymn, a song to Your burial: By Your burial You have opened for us the gates of life, and by Your death you have slain death and hell. O GOD, our deliverer, blessed are You! "'How much more, then, will the blood of CHRIST, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to GOD, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living GOD!"' ~ HEBREWS 9:14 (NIV)
