  Easter Quotes - Love paid a price so hope could become a reality   “There was a warrior once who fought Against man's subtlest, mightiest foe, And more than valiant deeds he wrought T' effect th' enslaver's overthrow.   But ah! how dread was his campaign, Forc'd in the wilderness to stray, Lone, hungry, stung with grief and pain, And thus sustain the arduous fray.   Prompt at each call from place to place, 'Mid sin's dark shade and sorrow's flow, He sped to save man's erring race, And bear for him the vengeful blow.   But when his soldiers saw the strife, When imminent the danger grew, Though 'twas for them he pledg'd his life, Like dastards from the field they flew.   Wearied, forsaken, still he strove, And gain'd the glorious victory; Yet such achievements few could move, To hail his triumpn 'beath the sky.   Dying he conquer'd; yet at last No human honours grac'd his b...

  Easter Quotes - Life doesn’t always go our way   “In the cross of Christ God is taking man dead-seriously so that he may open up for him the happy freedom of Easter.

Throw those palm leaves somewhere; and lay your life down for someone to walk on and get to the destined land!” ― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes   “We lose the understanding that death always begets life of some sort, and that life is always an opportunist, persistently standing ready to build something out of the smoldering ashes and raise something up out of the tangled carnage.” ― Craig D. Lounsbrough ...

  Easter Quotes - Jesus doesn't want what you can do for Him   “The beauty of the cross and our crucified Lord cannot be easily fathomed by human mind or by barely reading scriptures in bits, but by careful reading of entire scripture in the spirit which will in turn engulf one with wisdom and love.” ― Henrietta Newton Martin   “Spend every moment in "Hope" and "Love" for God for he has risen and brought us courage.” ― Phil Mitchell, A Bright New Morning: An American Story   “Perfect majesty that deliberately chose to be born into abject poverty, walk a road of perpetual poverty, and be unjustly executed in the raw nakedness of poverty is utterly ludicrous unless I realize that this is the single and sole way that God can reach me in the suffocating poverty that I myself have created.” ― Craig D. Lounsbrough   “Jesus doesn't want what you can do for Him. He wants you.....all of you.....the good and the bad.” ― Wade Grassedonio, Jesus an...

  Easter Quotes - Jesus no longer belongs to the past   “Easter is God throwing everything at death so that I can give everything to life.” ― Craig D. Lounsbrough   “Jesus no longer belongs to the past but lives in the present and is projected toward the future; Jesus is the everlasting "today" of God. This is how the newness of God appears to the women, the disciples, and all of us: as victory over sin, evil, and death - over everything that crushes life and makes it seem less human. And this is a message meant for me and for you, dear sister, you, dear brother. How often does Love have to tell us, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?" Our daily problems and worries can wrap us up in ourselves, in sadness and bitterness...and that is where death is. That is not the place to look for the One who is alive!” ― Pope Francis, The Church of Mercy   “The beauty of the cross and our crucified Lord cannot be easily fathomed by human mind or by barel...

  Easter Quotes - I no longer have to be afraid of looking foolish   “Easter tells us of something children can't understand, because it addresses things they don't yet have to know: the weariness of life, the pain, the profound loneliness and hovering fear of meaninglessness.” ― Frederica Mathewes-Green   “Easter is the miracle of transformation as seen in the change of seasons, in the maturation of mortal persons, and in the resurrection of souls.” ― Richelle E. Goodrich, Slaying Dragons: Quotes, Poetry, & a Few Short Stories for Every Day of the Year   “My limitations abruptly define the frighteningly negligible extent of my existence, yet my soul utterly perishes if bound by those very same limits. And does this not somehow evidence both the reality of and need for God?” ― Craig D. Lounsbrough   “If God has the answer to every question, maybe my appreciation for God should be shaped more by the number of questions and less by the wisd...
