Momentum For Monday, April 18th 2022

Because Easter and the message of the resurrection should impact our everyday lives, here's a few post Easter quotes to reflect on as we keep the momentum of the resurrection going. Have a wonderful week!

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

“For me the most radical demand of Christian faith lies in summoning the courage to say yes to the present risenness of Jesus Christ.” -Brennan Manning

“No tabloid will ever print the startling news that the mummified body of Jesus of Nazareth has been discovered in old Jerusalem. Christians have no carefully embalmed body enclosed in a glass case to worship. Thank God, we have an empty tomb. The glorious fact that the empty tomb proclaims to us is that life for us does not stop when death comes. Death is not a wall, but a door.” -Peter Marshall

“What if the empty tomb was simply God saying that the miracle that happened there is just a foretaste of the miracles that can happen within us? And if that’s the case, nothing within us is really dead. Rather, it’s just a bunch of stuff waiting its turn to stand up and breathe again.” -Craig D. Lounsbrough

“The power of the resurrection means that nothing but the tomb is meant to be empty.” -Beth Moore

And of course, some amazing verses as well.

"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?'" -John 11:25-26

"I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death." -Philippians 3:10

"And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you." -Romans 8:11
