I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. 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.Įaster says you can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Peace and thanksgiving lifted unto you.Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. I shall cling to this now, and the tomorrows given me. Even in the garden, You took on our fear if for only moments, it was as real as our fears can be real and You knew then that this single enemy must be destroyed.Īnd, You sacrificed your life, leaving those who had been comfort, and follower You left them behind, to conquer fear. What better living parable could You have brought? All fear death. This alone, the most touching and profound of your signs that fear is dead and belief in you brings, not just hope but life. Resurrection is replacing fear with physical action. Fear of tomorrow, fear of our yesterdays, fear of what shall become of our young our old our unborn. Resurrection is a daily celebration over fear man's greatest and most powerful enemy. The celebration of your resurrection over death is a celebration of life that should continue well beyond the sunrise service and the music, rehearsed for days prior it is beyond the sign of spring, beyond the lily, beyond new lambs grazing in open fields. If you find yourself so inspired, head to our collections of Easter bible verses and Easter quotes for further reflection.Īs the world sings triumphant cries to heaven over death that you conquered, help us, Lord, tomorrow as well, when the dresses are put away and the candy is all eaten and on with life we go let us not forget.
