Christ Will Rise On Easter Day!

Christ Is The Word Of God. It Is Not In Certain Texts Written In The New Testament, Valuable As They Are; It Is Not In Certain Words Which Jesus Spoke, Vast As Is Their Preciousness; It Is In The Word, Which Jesus Is, That The Great Manifestation Of God Is Made.

Heaven Is Not To Sweep Our Truths Away, But Only To Turn Them Till We See Their Glory, To Open Them Till We See Their Truth, And To Unveil Our Eyes Till For The First Time We Shall Really See Them.

It Never Frightened A Puritan When You Bade Him Stand Still And Listen To The Speech Of God. His Closet And His Church Were Full Of The Reverberations Of The Awful, Gracious, Beautiful Voice For Which He Listened.

O, Do Not Pray For Easy Lives. Pray To Be Stronger Men! Do Not Pray For Tasks Equal To Your Powers. Pray For Powers Equal To Your Tasks! Then The Doing Of Your Work Shall Be No Miracle. But You Shall Be A Miracle. Every Day You Shall Wonder At Yourself, At The Richness Of Life Which Has Come To You By The Grace Of God.

There Are No Times In Life When Opportunity, The Chance To Be And Do, Gathers So Richly About The Soul As When It Has To Suffer. Then Everything Depends On Whether The Man Turns To The Lower Or The Higher Helps. If He Resorts To Mere Expedients And Tricks The Opportunity Is Lost. He Comes Out Harder, Poorer, Smaller For His Pain. But, If He Turns To God, The Hour Of Suffering Is The Turning Hour Of His Life.
