“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
“The death, and the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus happened over three days. Friday was the day of suffering and pain and agony. Saturday was the day of doubt and confusion and misery. But Easter, that Sunday, was the day of hope and joy and victory. You will face these three days over and over and over in your lifetime. And when you do, you’ll find yourself asking, as I did, three fundamental questions: Number one, what do I do in my days of pain? Two, how do I get through my days of doubt and confusion? Three, how do I get to the days of joy and victory? The answer is Easter.” TwoPainFacesJoySufferingThreeJesusAnswersNumbersDoubtHappenedVictoryAskingFundamentalsMiseryLifetimeConfusionSundayFinding YourselfResurrectionAgonySaturdayEasterFridayBurialJesus ResurrectionSuffering And Pain Author:Rick Warren
