The benefits [of the resurrection] are innumerable. To list a few: Our illnesses
don't seem nearly so final; Our fears fade and lose their grip; Our grief over
those who have gone on is diminished; Our desires to press on in spite of the
obstacles is rejuvenated... Our identity as Christians is strengthened as we
stand in the lengthening shadows of saints down through the centuries, who have
always answered back in antiphonal voice: 'He is risen, indeed'. - Charles
Swindoll
Christ died He left a will in which He gave His soul to His Father, His body to
Joseph of Arimathea, His clothes to the soldiers, and His mother to John. But to
His disciples, who had left all to follow Him, He left not silver or gold, but
something far better -- His PEACE! - Matthew Henry
Come, see the place where the Lord lay," with joy and gladness. He does not lie
there now. Weep, when ye see the tomb of Christ, but rejoice because it is
empty. Thy sin slew him, but his divinity raised him up. Thy guilt hath murdered
him, but his righteousness hath restored him. Oh! he hath burst the bonds of
death, he hath ungirt the cerements of the tomb, and hath come out more than
conqueror, crushing death beneath his feet. Rejoice, O Christian, for he is not
there—he is risen. - Charles Spurgeon
The Resurrection is the central theme in every Christian sermon reported in the
Acts. The first fact in the history of Christendom is a number of people who say
that they have seen the Resurrection. - C. S. Lewis
