“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

“In every Christian's Heart, there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne. Perhaps this is at the bottom of the backsliding and worldliness among Gospel believers today. We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of man's soul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.” IfsMenWantHeartLittlesSoulTodayChristianSpiritualChristDyingPrideKingsWeaknessShadowCrossesRemainsBottomRefuseBelieverSavedKingdomsCrownsThronesDoomWorldlinessTinselBacksliding Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer

“It is not the thinker who is the true king of men, as we sometimes hear it proudly said. We need one who will not only show, but be the Truth; who will not only point, but open and be the Way; who will not only communicate thought, but give, because He is the Life. Not the rabbi's pulpit, nor the teacher's desk, still less the gilded chairs of earthly monarchs, least of all the' tents of conquerors, are the throne of the true king.

“The transgender movement even divides itself up by gender, as many folks stick with their same trans-genders (female-to-male or male-to-female).

“Christmas begins what Easter celebrates. The child in the cradle became the king on the cross. And because he did, there are no marks on my record. Just grace. His offer has no fine print.
