Rise

 

"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said."

Matthew 28:6


“Awake, O sleeper! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Ephesians 5:14


"Wonderful providence indeed which is so silent, yet so efficacious, so constant, so unerring.  This is what baffles the power of Satan.   He cannot discern the Hand of God in what goes on; and though he would fain meet it and encounter it, in his mad and blasphemous rebellion against heaven, he cannot find it.  

Crafty and penetrating as he is, yet his thousand eyes and his many instruments avail him nothing against the majestic serene silence, the holy imperturbable calm which reigns through the providence of God."

John Henry Newman,


"Without a doubt, at the center of the New Testament there stands the Cross, which receives its interpretation from the Resurrection."

Hans Urs von Balthasar


"Then Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life.  Whoever believes in me, though they die will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.  Do you believe this?'”

John 11:25-26


Your face will shine like the sun in the kingdom of your Father.

Believe in the resurrection, because He lives in you.

Have a happy Easter.

He is risen.
