EASTER QUOTES

Crucifixion

“Jesus took my place on the cross to give me a place in heaven.” [unknown]

“…death was not Jesus’ penalty; it was His destiny.
It was not His lot in life; it was His mission.
It was not His unavoidable fate;
It was His purpose statement for coming to earth that first Christmas:
‘Born to die.’” [Bill Crowder, The Path of Passion]

“No one [Jesus] ever deserved suffering less, yet received so much…no one has ever had a greater right to retaliate, but used it less…no one has ever borne so much injustice with so little vengeance.” [John Piper]

Resurrection

 “Christ is risen! With this victorious cry, the gospel has passed through the lands. The message of the cross is at the same time a message of resurrection. [Acts 1:22, 2:32] In this lies its invincibility.” [Eric Sauer]

“Easter says you can put truth in the grave, but it won’t stay there.” [Clarence W. Hall]

“The cross is the victory, the resurrection is the triumph…The resurrection is the public display of the victory, the triumph of the crucified one.” [Eric Sauer]

“The tomb of Christ is famous because of what it DOES NOT CONTAIN.” [Sam Morris]

“Christianity begins where religion ends…with the resurrection.” [Herbert Booth Smith]
