“The resurrection is the keystone of the arch on which our faith is supported. If Christ has not risen, we must impeach all those witnesses for lying.

If Christ has not risen, it is impossible to believe his atoning death was accepted.” – D.L. Moody

“It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It’s the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That’s the power of the gospel.” – Ben Harper

“The biggest fact about Joseph’s tomb was that it wasn’t a tomb at all – it was a room for a transient. Jesus just stopped there…on His way back to glory.” – Herbert Booth Smith

“If there were more than one path to salvation then it would totally negate Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, his life, his teachings.” – Josh McDowell

“Unfortunately there is nothing more inane than an Easter carol. It is a religious perversion of the activity of Spring in our blood.” – Wallace Stevens
