Salvation! As you know salvation is
a continuous process by which
an Orthodox Christian is always
striving to achieve the ultimate
goal. We are not saved once
and then always saved as many
Protestants believe, but rather we
are always working towards
salvation. I was saved yesterday,
I am being saved today, I
shall be saved tomorrow.

Resurrection Apolitikion Plagal Tone 1
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling death by death, and
bestowing life on those in the tombs.
The Hypakoe
of Pascha Tone 4
When they who were with Mary came, anticipating the dawn, and found
the stone rolled away from the sepulchre, they heard from the
Angel: Why seek ye among the dead, as though He were mortal man,
Him Who abides in everlasting light? Behold the grave-clothes. Go
quickly and proclaim to the world that the Lord is risen, and hath
put death to death. For He is the Son of God, Who saves the human
race.
Kontakion Plagal Tone 4
Though You went down into the tomb, You destroyed Hades' power, and
You rose the victor, Christ God, saying to the myrrh-bearing women,
"Rejoice!" and granting peace to Your disciples, You who raise up
the fallen.

THE EPISTLE
Acts of the Apostles 1:1-8
IN THE FIRST BOOK, O Theophilos, I have dealt with all that Jesus
began to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up, after he
had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom
he had chosen. To them he presented himself alive after his passion
by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking
of the kingdom of God. And while staying with them he charged them
not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the
Father, which, he said, "you heard from me, for John baptized with
water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy
Spirit." So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord,
will you at this time restore the kingdom of lsrael?" He said to
them, "it is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father
has fixed by his own authority. But you shall receive power when
the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in
Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the
earth."
