“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.”
Tim Keller

  “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!…

…according to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…

…to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you”
1 Peter 1:3-4

“Irony of the cross: The ultimate symbol of death and sin becomes the ultimate source of life for sinners”

“Lesson from the cross: To all wanting a safe life free from danger in this world, stay away from Jesus”
David Platt

 “But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.  For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead”
1 Corinthians 15: 20-21

“Death is swallowed up in victory.  O death, where is your victory?  O death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ”
1 Corinthians 15:55-57
