May your Easter celebration be one of  joy and special reflection.

In the cross is health, in the cross is life, in the cross is protection from enemies, in the cross is heavenly sweetness, in the cross strength of mind, in the cross joy of the Spirit, in the cross the height of virtue, in the cross perfection of holiness.  There is no health of the soul, no hope of the eternal life, save in the cross.

Thomas Kempis

Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it.  For He taught His disciples and said to them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him.  And after He is killed, He will rise the third day.”  But they did not understand this saying, and were afraid to ask Him.

Mark 9:30-32
The New King James Version

May the glad dawn
Of Easter morn
Bring joy to thee.
May the calm eve
Of Easter leave
A peace divine with thee.
May Easter night
On thine heart write,
O Christ, I live for Thee

Blessed is the man whose heart today burns as he walks with Jesus by the way.
Blessed is the man who having not seen yet believes.
Blessed is the man who hears the voice of the Risen Lord saying, “Peace be unto you.”
Blessed is the man who accepts the glorious Master, Jesus Christ, as his Lord and his God and worships Him.
Blessed is the man who thus lives the power of the endless life through fellowship with the Risen Lord.
Blessed is the man whose words and deeds are day by day and every day a witness to the living and loving Lord.
Blessed is the man who obeys the Risen Lord’s last great command and commission, “Go ye into all the world and preach my gospel,” for unto him shall be fulfilled the Lord’s promise, “Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end.”

Oliver Huckel

By now it was noon, and darkness fell across the whole land for three hours, until three o’clock.  The light from the sun was gone—and suddenly the thick veil hanging in the Temple split apart.  Then Jesus shouted, “Father, I commit my spirit to you,” and with those words he died.

Luke 23:44-42
The Living Bible

In Christ Jesus heaven meets earth and earth ascends to heaven.

The simplest meaning of Easter is that we are living in a world in which God has the last word.

While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived.  With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.  Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.”  Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.  Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”  Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.  With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.  “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.  Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?  But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”

Matthew 26:47-54
The New International Version

Vital Christian experience comes from knowing Jesus as the living Saviour.  Two irreligious young men were discussing the resurrection, telling each other why it was impossible for them to accept the doctrine.  Then a deacon of a near-by church walked by, and in a joking way one of the young fellows called to him, “Say, Deacon, tell us why you believe that Jesus rose again.”  “Well,” he answered, “one reason is that I was talking with Him for half an hour this very morning.”  We may all experience proof of the resurrection of Christ in the acknowledging of His living presence in our lives.  No one who knows Jesus personally questions the resurrection.

Easter not only happened; it happens.  It is not only a past event to be celebrated with new hats and hallelujahs; it is an eternally present fact to be appropriated by faith and obedience.

Leonard Griffith

It was a prediction that Jesus’ death would not be for Israel only, but for all the children of God scattered around the world.

To go against one’s conscience is neither safe nor right.  Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise.

Martin Luther

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.

3 John 2
The English Standard Version

I cannot understand
The why and wherefore of a thousand things;
The burdens, the annoyances, the daily stings,
I cannot understand;
But I can trust,
For perfect trusting, perfect comfort brings.
I cannot see the end.
The hidden meaning of each trial sent,
The pattern into which each tangled thread is bent,
I cannot see the end;
But I can trust,
And in God’s changeless love I am content.

The fear of God is the death of every other fear.

C. H. Spurgeon

For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God.  This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 2:26
The English Standard Version

Life is an exciting business and most exciting when it is lived for others.

It is comfortable to know that we are responsible to God and not to man.  It is a small matter to be judged of man’s judgement.

Lottie Moon

Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

Proverbs 11:14
The New King James Version

If God does not enter your kitchen, there is something wrong with your kitchen.  If you can’t take God into your recreation, there is something wrong with your play.  We all believe in the God of the heroic.  What we need most these days is the God of the humdrum, the commonplace, the everyday.

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who brings good tidings of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”

Isaiah 52:7
The Revised Standard Version

In our faith we follow in someone’s steps.  In our faith we leave footprints to guide others.  It’s the principle of discipleship.

Morality and immorality are not defined by man’s changing attitudes and social customs.  They are determined by the God of the universe, whose timeless standards cannot be ignored with impunity.

James Dobson

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.

God is voting for us all the time.  The devil is voting against us all the time.  The way we vote carries the election.
