“The resurrection is the revelation to chosen witnesses of the fact that Jesus who died on the cross is indeed king - conqueror of death and sin, Lord and Savior of all. The resurrection is not the reversal of a defeat but the proclamation of a victory. The King reigns from the tree. The reign of God has indeed come upon us, and its sign is not a golden throne but a wooden cross.” FactsJesusSinLordTreeKingsVictoryCrossesDiedDefeatChosenGoldenWitnessRevelationsSaviorResurrectionThronesReignConquerorProclamationReversal Author:Lesslie Newbigin

“Never try to live on the old manna, nor seek to find help in Egypt. All must come from Jesus or thou art undone forever. Old anointings will not suffice to impart unction to thy spirit; thine head must have fresh oil poured upon it from the golden horn of the sanctuary, or it will cease from its glory.” TryingArtHelpingSpiritJesusForeverGloryOilCeaseGoldenOld ManEgyptHornsSanctuaryUndoneImpartAnointing Book:Morning by Morning Source: Morning by Morning
