The return of Easter should be to the Christian life the call of a trumpet.  It is the news of a great victory.  It is the solution of a great perplexity.  It is the assurance of a great triumph.

Frederick Temple

But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.  Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.  He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.  If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.”

John 12:23-26
The New King James Version

Easter allows us to affirm that although God seems very distant and although we remain preoccupied with many little things, our Lord walks with us on the road and keeps explaining the Scriptures to us.  Thus there are many rays of hope casting their light on our way through life.

Too often we attempt to work for God to the limit of our incompetency, rather than to the limit of God’s omnipotency.

The Living Bible

Jesus is happy to come with us, as truth is happy to be spoken, as life to be lived, as light to be lit, as love is to be loved, as joy to be given, as peace to be spread.

Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.  Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you, and you be found a liar.

I believe, O Lord, but strengthen my faith…
Heart of Jesus, I love you; but increase my love.
Heart of Jesus, I trust in you; but give greater vigor to my confidence.
Heart of Jesus, I give my heart to you; but so enclose it in you that it may never be separated from you.
Heart of Jesus, I am all yours; but take care of my promise so that I may be able to put it in practice even unto the complete sacrifice of my life.

Miguel Pro

Have you ever heard of anyone being greatly used by Christ who did not experience a special time of waiting, or a complete upset of his plans at first?  From the apostle Paul’s being sent into the Arabian wilderness for three years—during which time he must have been overflowing with the Good News—down to the present day, it seems those who will be used will have a time of waiting.

Frances Ridley Havergal

Yes, he alone is my Rock, my rescuer, defense and fortress. Why then should I be tense with fear when troubles come?
