The resurrection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity to start over no matter what my circumstances.
Robert Flatt
Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there.
Clarence W. Hall
The joyful news that He is risen does not change the contemporary world. Still before us lie work, discipline, sacrifice. But the fact of Easter gives us the spiritual power to do the work, accept the discipline, and make the sacrifice.
Henry Knox Sherrill
Easter is the demonstration of God that life is essentially spiritual and timeless.
Charles M. Crowe
Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, “Christ is risen,” but “I shall rise.”
Phillips Brooks
Easter is not a time for groping through dusty, musty tomes or tombs to disprove spontaneous generation or even to prove life eternal. It is a day to fan the ashes of dead hope, a day to banish doubts and seek the slopes where the sun is rising, to revel in the faith which transports us out of ourselves and the dead past into the vast and inviting unknown.
Unknown Author
We live and die; Christ died and lived!
John Stott
Those have a short Lent, who owe money to be paid at Easter.
Benjamin Franklin
The story of Easter is the story of God’s wonderful window of divine surprise.
Carl Knudsen
Unfortunately there is nothing more inane than an Easter carol. It is a religious perversion of the activity of Spring in our blood.
Wallace Stevens
Easter tells us that life is to be interpreted not simply in terms of things but in terms of ideals.
Charles M. Crowe
God expects from men something more than at such times, and that it were much to be wished for the credit of their religion as well as the satisfaction of their conscience that their Easter devotions would in some measure come up to their Easter dress.
Robert South
To a Christian, Easter Sunday means everything, when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Bernhard Langer
If Easter says anything to us today, it says this: You can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there. You can nail it to a cross, wrap it in winding sheets and shut it up in a tomb, but it will rise!
Clarence W. Hall
The great gift of Easter is hope – Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love, which nothing can shake.
Basil C. Hume
Let the resurrection joy lift us from loneliness and weakness and despair to strength and beauty and happiness.
Floyd W. Tomkins
On Easter Day the veil between time and eternity thins to gossamer.
Douglas Horton
Easter so longed for is gone in a day.
James Howell
Easter tells us that life is to be interpreted not simply in terms of things but in terms of ideals.
Charles M. Crowe
The resurrection asserts a truth which is by no means always written legibly for all men on the face of nature. It tells us that the spiritual is higher than the material; that in this universe spirit counts for more than matter.
H.P. Liddon
Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in spring-time.
Martin Luther
Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life.
S. D. Gordon
God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‘I love you.’
Billy Graham
Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.
Pope John Paul II
Easter is very important to me, it’s a second chance.
Reba McEntire
Christ appeared alive on several occasions after the cataclysmic events of that first Easter.
Josh McDowell
Here is the amazing thing about Easter; the Resurrection Sunday for Christians is this, that Christ in the dying moments on the cross gives us the greatest illustration of forgiveness possible.
T. D. Jakes
Passover and Easter are the only Jewish and Christian holidays that move in sync, like the ice skating pairs we saw during the winter Olympics.
Marvin Olasky
A strangely reflective, even melancholy day. Is that because, unlike our cousins in the northern hemisphere, Easter is not associated with the energy and vitality of spring but with the more subdued spirit of autumn?
Hugh Mackay
