The Resurrection

O Spirit! Command my soul to arise from the sephulcre of littleness into Thy vastness of everywherene. Paramhansa Yogananda Jesus said: "I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" John 11:25-26 The cross is the only ladder high enough to touch Heaven's threshold. George D Boardman The great Easter truth is not that we are to live newly after death — that is not the great thing — but that... we are to, and may, live nobly now because we are to live forever...Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer; Death is strong, but Life is stronger; Stronger than the dark, the light; Stronger than the wrong, the right; Faith and Hope triumphant say Christ will rise on Easter Day. Phillips Brooks Easter is the demonstration of God that life is essentially spiritual and timeless...Easter tells us that life is to be interpreted not simply in terms of things but in terms of ideals.
