May you have a most joyous and meaningful Easter celebration!

This Day's Thought

In the bonds of Death He lay
Who for our offense was slain;
But the Lord is risen to-day.
Christ hath brought us life again,
Wherefore let us all rejoice,
Singing loud, with cheerful voice,
Hallelujah!

Martin Luther

This Day's Verse

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

Matthew 28:5-7
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

And he departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here.

Augustine

This Day's Thought

The whole benefit of trial consists in silence, patience, rest, and resignation. In this condition divine strength is found for the hard warfare, because God Himself fights for the soul.

Miguel de Molinos

This Day's Verse

Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

2 Corinthians 9:15
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

If someone predicts their own death and resurrection and pulls it off, I go with whatever that person says.

This Day's Thought

The dominion of any sinful habit will fearfully estrange us from His presence.  A single consenting act of inward disobedience in thought or will is enough to let fall a cloud between Him and us, and to leave our hearts cheerless and dark.

Henry E. Manning

This Day's Verse

O Lord, be gracious to us; we wait for thee.  Be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble.

Isaiah 33:2
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

The life of the church is not without a resurrection, nay, it is not without many resurrections.

John Calvin

This Day's Thought

The whole history of the Christian life is a series of resurrections.  Every time a man finds his heart is troubled, that he is not rejoicing in God, a resurrection must follow; a resurrection out of the night of troubled thought into the gladness of the truth.

George MacDonald

This Day's Verse

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act.

Psalm 37:7
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said wouldn’t be a great moral teacher.  He’d be either a lunatic—on a level with a man who says he’s a poached egg—or else he’d be the devil of hell.  You must make your choice.  Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.  You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.  But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher.  He hasn’t left that open to us.  He didn’t intend to.

C. S. Lewis
