quotations about Easter
Easter is a mystery. Almost 2000 years ago, in a remote corner of the Roman Empire, a new doctrine was taught. Jesus' preaching lasted only three years and ended in defeat. The preacher was executed. But on the eve of His death, He prophesied that the Good News he had brought would be preached "unto all nations". Today, the Gospel has been translated into more than 600 languages. This is a miracle, part of the ongoing miracle, that first took place when Mary Magdalene found that the stone of the tomb had been rolled away.

O glorious Easter morning!
O day of peace and light!
One precious name adorning
With lilies pure and white.
A gladsome message bringing
Of love that knows no fear;
The sweetest anthem singing,
"The risen Christ is here."
SARAH KNOWLES BOLTON
"Easter Hymn"
Rise, heart; thy Lord is risen. Sing His praise
Without delays,
Who takes thee by the hand, that thou likewise
With Him mayst rise:
That, as His death calcined thee to dust,
His life may make thee gold, and, much more, just.
GEORGE HERBERT
"Easter"
God expects from men something more than at such times, and that it were much to be wished for the credit of their religion as well as the satisfaction of their conscience that their Easter devotions would in some measure come up to their Easter dress.

The temporal Zion is now in dust, but the true one is rising and shaking herself from it, and putting on her Easter robes to welcome her King when He comes to reign over the whole earth.
