#Easter

"Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life."

"I really do believe that God is love, one of deep affection and grace and forgiveness and inspiration."

"I have always wanted a bunny and I'll always have a rabbit the rest of my life."

"Easter may seem boring to children, and it is blessedly unencumbered by the silly fun that plagues Christmas. Yet it contains the one thing needful for every human life: the good news of Resurrection."

"God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything."

"Outside of the cross of Jesus Christ, there is no hope in this world. That cross and resurrection at the core of the Gospel is the only hope for humanity. Wherever you go, ask God for wisdom on how to get that Gospel in, even in the toughest situations of life."

"Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross."

"God is not interested in your art but, your heart."

"People come together with their families to celebrate Easter. What better way to celebrate than to spend a few hours going on the journey of Christ's life."

"Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song."

"I know that many of you do wear such a cross of Christ, not in any ostentatious way, not in a way that might harm you at your work or recreation, but a simple indication that you value the role of Jesus Christ in the history of the world, that you are trying to live by Christ's standards in your own daily life."

"The great gift of Easter is hope - Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love, which nothing can shake."

"It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow."

"The primary source of the appeal of Christianity was Jesus - His incarnation, His life, His crucifixion, and His resurrection."

"God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'"

"There is only one secure foundation: a genuine, deep relationship with Jesus Christ, which will carry you through any and all turmoil. No matter what storms are raging all around, you'll stand firm if you stand on His love."
