“If Jesus rose from the
dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn't rise from the
dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything
hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from
the dead.” ― Timothy Keller
“A dead Christ I must do
everything for; a living Christ does everything for me.” -Andrew Murray
Remember, this
repentance, this willing submission to humiliation and a kind of death, is not
something God demands of you before He will take you back and which He could
let you off of if He chose: it is simply a description of what going back to
Him is like. If you ask God to take you back without it, you are really asking
Him to let you go back without going back. It cannot happen. -CS Lewis
Knowledge without
repentance will be but a torch to light men to hell. -Thomas Watson
Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but
in every leaf in springtime. Martin Luther
The primary source of the appeal of Christianity was Jesus - His
incarnation, His life, His crucifixion, and His resurrection. -Kenneth Scott
Latourette
While the resurrection
promises us a new and perfect life in the future, God loves us too much to
leave us alone to contend with the pain, guilt and loneliness of our present
life. -Josh McDowell
The greatest
negative in the universe is the Cross, for with it God wiped out everything that
was not of Himself: the greatest positive in the universe is the resurrection,
for through it God brought into being all” -Watchman Nee
Christ is the Son of
God who died for the redemption of sinners and resurrected after three days.
This is the greatest truth in the universe. I die because of my belief in
Christ. -Watchman Nee
Outside of the cross of
Jesus Christ, there is no hope in this world. That cross and resurrection at
the core of the Gospel is the only hope for humanity. Wherever you go, ask God
for wisdom on how to get that Gospel in, even in the toughest situations of
life. -Ravi Zacharias
“Let us be
confident, Christian brethren, that our power does not lie in the manger at
Bethlehem nor in the relics of the cross. True spiritual power resides in
the victory of the mighty, resurrected Lord of glory, who could pronounce after
spoiling death: ‘All power is given me in heaven and in earth.’ The power
of the Christian believer lies in the Savior’s triumph of eternal glory!” AW
Tozer
Our old history ends
with the cross; our new history begins with the resurrection” -Watchman Nee
“The devil,
darkness, and death may swagger and boast, the pangs of life will sting for a
while longer, but don’t worry; the forces of evil are breathing their last. Not
to worry…He’s risen!” –Chuck Swindoll
“The Bible says he
was raised not just after the blood-shedding, but by it. This means that what
the death of Christ accomplished was so full and so prefect that the
resurrection was the reward and vindication of Christ’s achievement in
death.”-John Piper
“We live and die;
Christ died and lived!”-John Stott
