Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Mort Sahl

I don't think crucifixion is the answer. I believe in the resurrection. I like that part of the story. — Mort Sahl

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Joseph Campbell

If you want resurrection, you must have crucifixion ... The hoarder, the one in us that wants to keep, to hold on, must be killed. — Joseph Campbell

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Mark Batterson

But remember this: without a crucifixion there can be no resurrection! — Mark Batterson

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Marianne Williamson

Think of the mystical three days between the crucifixion and the resurrection as the time it takes for a situation to change once spirit has infused our consciousness. As we come to look at an experience differently, in time in begins to transform. — Marianne Williamson

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Anonymous

What makes the Resurrection so difficult for most people to believe? The fact that Jesus rose from the dead became the central point of the disciples' preaching. Why is the Resurrection so important to Christianity? How can the experience of these first-century Christ-followers and their strong witness give you confidence and hope? The close followers of Jesus ran for their lives from the garden and then kept their distance from the trial and Crucifixion. Peter denied even knowing Jesus. Two of them walked sadly away from Jerusalem, hopeless of seeing Jesus again. Then this same group hid from the authorities in a locked room. But soon they would be boldly proclaiming the Good News about Jesus. What changed these confused and disillusioned men and women? The Resurrection! They saw Christ alive - they knew the truth - and their lives were forever changed. This is perhaps the greatest proof that Christ did, in fact, rise from the dead: the disciples' changed lives. — Anonymous

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Witness Lee

Our need is to see that our God today has passed through the process of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and enthronement to become the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit for us to drink. He is such a compound Spirit, and we have a spirit with which to drink of Him. In spirit we are one with Him. If we see this vision, the focal point of the divine revelation in the Bible, we shall know how to drink the Lord as the water of life. (Life-study of Exodus, pp. 515-518) — Witness Lee

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Greg Laurie

The resurrection of Christ from the dead, next to the Crucifixion itself, is the most significant event in church history. It isn't a peripheral issue; it's foundational. It's bedrock. It's the bottom line. — Greg Laurie

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Wm. Paul Young

The old must be torn down for the new to be raised; to have a resurrection you must have a crucifixion, but God wastes nothing, not even the wrong we have imagined into existence. In every building torn down there is much that remains that was once true and right and good, and that gets woven into the new; in fact, the new could not be what it is without the old. It is the refurbishing of the soul. — Wm. Paul Young

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

I am pressed to admit that I don't have the capacity to understand the bloodied horrors of a cross and the wild exhilaration of an empty tomb. But at the point that I think I completely understand God, I have at that very point humanized Him and in that very action I have lost Him. Therefore, I much prefer to simply marvel. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

Although I rail against it, death is the dark demarcation beyond which I am at the mercy of my own end. To the contrary, an empty tomb says that my end is at the mercy of God's beginning. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Jurgen Moltmann

Just as they were formulated to express Jewish or Greek reasons for faith in Jesus, it is possible on principle to formulate new titles to express, say, Hindu reasons or even Marxist reasons for faith in Jesus. This historical openness and variability of the titles for Jesus, to which the history of Christian tradition bears witness, has, however, a point of reference and a criterion. This is provided by his personal name, Jesus, and the history which concluded with his crucifixion and resurrection. — Jurgen Moltmann

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By R.A. Torrey

"Gospel preachers nowadays preach the gospel of the Crucifixion, the Apostles preached the gospel of the Resurrection as well. The Crucifixion loses its meaning without the Resurrection. Without the Resurrection the death of Christ was only the heroic death of a noble martyr; with the Resurrection it is the atoning death the Son of God. It shows that death to be of sufficient value to cover our sins, for it was the sacrifice of the Son of God." — R.A. Torrey

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By J.K. Sheindlin

Anti-Christian sentiment is vehemently enforced in the Quran, as the book emphatically preaches that the crucifixion of Jesus never occurred, "they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them."32 However, this cornerstone of Islamic theology is proven to be a lie as ancient secular and Jewish sources (Flavius Josephus and Tacitus) in Judea documented Christ's crucifixion and resurrection - this happened 600 years before Muhammad was even born. Yet, — J.K. Sheindlin

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Robert Anderson

Apart from it, the incarnation and the ministry would lose all their significance, the crucifixion would be but a martyrdom, and the cross a symbol of the victory of death over life. By the Resurrection it was that the Crucified One was "declared to be the Son of God with power," the great truth on which the Christian's faith is founded, and to which his hope is anchored. That Christ died for our sins is the Gospel of the Christian religion regarded as a human cult. The Gospel of Christianity goes on to declare "That He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" — Robert Anderson

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Rajneesh

Zen says that if you drop knowledge - and within knowledge everything is included; your name, your identity, everything, because this has been given to you by others - if you drop all that has been given by others, you will have a totally different quality to your being: innocence. This will be a crucifixion of the persona, the personality, and there will be a resurrection of your innocence. You will become a child again, reborn. — Rajneesh

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

Easter is a marvelous affirmation of the genius of our design, but it is likewise the blunt acknowledgement that left to its own devices, the genius of our design will result in the destruction of our lives. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Andrew Murray

A dead Christ I must do everything for; a living Christ does everything for me. — Andrew Murray

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Clive Barker

Has anyone here ever heard of the Harrowing?" Dale asked, breaking the silence. No one replied. "It was in the time between Christ's crucifixion and his Resurrection," he went on. "The story goes, Christ went down into Hell, walked among the damned, and set many of them free. Then he returned to Earth and broke the bondage of death. It's supposedly the first and only amnesty Hell has ever known. — Clive Barker

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

A god of the 'possible' is no God. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Mark Batterson

If you go all in and all out for the cause of Christ, there will be setbacks along the way. But remember this: without a crucifixion there can be no resurrection! And when you have a setback, you do not take a step back, because God is already preparing your comeback. — Mark Batterson

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Reza Aslan

By the time these stories were written, six decades had passed since the crucifixion. In that time, the evangelists had heard just about every conceivable objection to the resurrection, and they were able to create narratives to counter each and every one of them. — Reza Aslan

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Amos Smith

God transcends and encompasses conservatism and liberalism, certainty and doubt, simplicity and complexity, Divinity and humanity, crucifixion and resurrection. — Amos Smith

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

Maybe I don't have enough beginnings in my life because I fought against the endings that were about to birth those beginnings. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Juan Pablo Di Pace

I went to church every Sunday ... I understood Christmas and what Easter was about. I understood the persecution of Christ, the crucifixion of Christ, the Resurrection of Christ. I understood all that but I have to say that beyond that ... for me, my knowledge after that was quite vague. — Juan Pablo Di Pace

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Deepak Chopra

The symbolic language of the crucifixion is the death of the old paradigm; resurrection is a leap into a whole new way of thinking. — Deepak Chopra

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Dan Brown

Jesus, God reminded him, had saved them all ... saved them from their own apathy. With two deeds, Jesus had opened their eyes. Horror and Hope. The crucifixion and the resurrection. He had changed the world. But that was millennia ago. Time had eroded the miracle. People had forgotten. They had turned to false idols-techno-deities and miracles of the mind. What about miracles of the heart! — Dan Brown

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Dwight L. Moody

The resurrection is the keystone of the arch on which our faith is supported. If Christ has not risen, we must impeach all those witnesses for lying. If Christ has not risen, we have no proof that the crucifixion of Jesus differed from that of the two thieves who suffered with him. If Christ has not risen, it is impossible to believe his atoning death was accepted. — Dwight L. Moody

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By R.C. Sproul

them incognito. They presumed to inform Jesus about the events of the crucifixion and showed obvious impatience with His apparent ignorance of the matters. When they related the report of the women concerning the resurrection, Christ rebuked them:
"O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
When the two had their eyes opened — R.C. Sproul

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Anthony Liccione

Unto the Cross came death, and unto death came the Cross. — Anthony Liccione

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Eugene H. Peterson

Condoning and condemning are both wrong for the same reasons: they refuse to take seriously the integrity of the other person, and to accept the fact that personal choice has personal consequences; they refuse to accept children as persons in their own right and not just extensions of the parent; and they refuse to take seriously the promises of God, to believe that God is capable of bringing good out of evil, healing out of suffering, peace out of disorder, resurrection out of crucifixion. They refuse to believe in Jesus Christ. — Eugene H. Peterson

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

Do I dare believe such an absurdly outrageous story that a man would die, lay lifeless in some tomb for three days and then somehow live again? Yet, if I dare to consider it, is that not exactly what I so desperately desire for this lifeless life of mine? And is Easter God's tenderly outrageous way of telling me that that is exactly what I can have? — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Marianne Williamson

Truth will always reassert itself, given a symbolic three days. Three days represents the time it takes between the crucifixion and the resurrection, between an open-hearted response to hurt and the experience of rebirth that will always follow. — Marianne Williamson

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Roma Downey

'A.D.' will focus on life after the crucifixion and the dangers that the disciples faced in the aftermath of Jesus' resurrection. — Roma Downey

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

God emptied out that first tomb so that He could turn around and empty out me. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

Easter is God throwing everything at death so that I can give everything to life. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By C.S. Lewis

The Christian "doctrines" are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more adequate, namely the actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection — C.S. Lewis

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

There are an incalculable number of things within me that I frantically wish to be emptied of, and despite my most earnest efforts to remove them, they remain. And it is Easter that reminds me that God empties out tombs. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Carl Jung

The utter failure came at the Crucifixion in the tragic words, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' If you want to understand the full tragedy of those words you must realize what they meant: Christ saw that his whole life, devoted to the truth according to his best conviction, had been a terrible illusion. He had lived it to the full absolutely sincerely, he had made his honest experiment, but it was nevertheless a compensation. On the cross his mission deserted him. But because he had lived so fully and devotedly he won through to the Resurrection body. — Carl Jung

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

Easter is the final solution to the finality of death. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

Reasonably speaking, we can see the cross as entirely possible. But in considering Easter, we see an empty tomb as entirely impossible. And is it possible that God had to do the impossible to finally get our attention? — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

Easter says that every ending ever experienced by man is exquisitely crafted to find its own ending at the feet of a fresh beginning. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

We need to know that our limits do not define our limitations. And an empty tomb does exactly that. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Jeffrey R. Holland

The Crucifixion, Atonement, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ mark the beginning of a Christian Life, not the end of it. — Jeffrey R. Holland

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Jay Emerson Johnson

As Luke would have it, what ends with crucifixion does not merely reappear restored. Resurrection declares and presents the unrecognizably new, even as traces of the familiar remain. — Jay Emerson Johnson

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Mother Teresa

Lord, help us to see in your crucifixion and resurrection an example of how to endure and seemingly to die in the agony and conflict of daily life, so that we may live more fully and creatively. You accepted patiently and humbly the rebuffs of human life, as well as the torture of the cross. Help us to accept the pains and conflicts that come to us each day as opportunity to grow as people and become more like you-make us realize that it is only by frequent deaths of ourselves, and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully, only by dying with you that we can rise with you. — Mother Teresa

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

If God has the answer to every question, maybe my appreciation for God should be shaped more by the number of questions and less by the wisdom of the answers. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Mark A. Seifrid

Once, for Paul, as for his contemporaries, Israel's election
and the demand of the law stood side by side in unresolved tension. Now he found their resolution, not in some synthesis or new idea, but in an event: the incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection of the Son of God. In Christ the demand of the law and the fulfillment of promise meet. — Mark A. Seifrid

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Nik Ripken

before we can grasp the full meaning of the Resurrection, we first have to witness or experience crucifixion. If we spend our lives so afraid of suffering, so averse to sacrifice, that we avoid even the risk of persecution or crucifixion, then we might never discover the true wonder, joy and power of a resurrection faith. Ironically, avoiding suffering could be the very thing that prevents us from partnering deeply with the Risen Jesus. — Nik Ripken

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

Easter is the invulnerable tale of utter selflessness where at an inestimable cost God did for us what He did not need done for Himself. And that kind of 'doing' happens every day. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Reza Aslan

A similar lack of concern about Jesus's earthly origins can be found in the first gospel, Mark, written just after 70 C.E. Mark's focus is kept squarely on Jesus's ministry; he is uninterested either in Jesus's birth or, perhaps surprisingly, in Jesus's resurrection, as he writes nothing at all about either event. The early Christian community appears not to have been particularly concerned about any aspect of Jesus's life before the launch of his ministry. Stories about his birth and childhood are conspicuously absent from the earliest written documents. The Q material, which was compiled around 50 C.E., makes no mention of anything that happened before Jesus's baptism by John the Baptist. The letters of Paul, which make up the bulk of the New Testament, are wholly detached from any event in Jesus's life save his crucifixion and resurrection (though Paul does mention the Last Supper). — Reza Aslan

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Mark Galli

But the resurrection without the crucifixion is empty optimism, an optimism that gives credence to Freud's notion that wishful thinking is the sum and substance of our faith. Include the crucifixion
and our role in that bloody moment
and the whole picture changes. — Mark Galli

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

My limitations abruptly define the frighteningly negligible extent of my existence, yet my soul utterly perishes if bound by those very same limits. And does this not somehow evidence both the reality of and need for God? — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Kenneth Scott Latourette

The primary source of the appeal of Christianity was Jesus - His incarnation, His life, His crucifixion, and His resurrection. — Kenneth Scott Latourette

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By John Joseph O'Connor

The Christ of Bethlehem is the Christ of Galilee, is the Christ of the Crucifixion, is the Christ of the Resurrection, is the Christ of the Eucharist — John Joseph O'Connor

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Neal A. Maxwell

How myopic it is to view His ministry as all crucifixion and no resurrection! — Neal A. Maxwell

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

What would behoove me to instantly declare God not to be God unless He followed my script in some tediously exacting manner? I must confess that I am less likely to believe that it's a matter of some narcissistic demand that I freely pen my own script. Rather, I think it's fear that I'm too inadequate to follow God's. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Peter Rollins

Faith, then, is not a set of beliefs about the world. It is rather found in the loving embrace of the world. Because the actual existing church has reduced the Crucifixion and Resurrection to religious affirmations held by a certain tribe, rather than expressions of a type of life, the event they testify to has been almost completely eclipsed. — Peter Rollins

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

Of course God does outrageous things. But in reality, what insanity would prompt me to follow a God who did anything less? — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Crucifixion Resurrection Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

Sooner or later I will realize that the very things I most desperately need are the very things I am unable to give myself. Therefore, I will either be left despising the fact that I am doomed to live out a life that is perpetually empty, or I will realize that an empty tomb is the single thing that will eternally fill me. — Craig D. Lounsbrough
