“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
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
“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
