C. S. Lewis

The joyful news that He is risen does not change the contemporary world.
Still before us lie work, discipline, sacrifice.
But the fact of Easter gives us the spiritual power to do the work,
accept the discipline, and make the sacrifice.
- Henry Knox Sherrill

To those who are celebrating Easter today,
I say "Rejoice, He is risen."
To everyone, I commend the words,
"Love your enemies."
For me, this is one of the high points of Christianity.
Rising above hatred has always been seen as a virtue by the wisest of each generation.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen:
not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
- C. S. Lewis

Today, in the land where Jesus was born, was crucified, and was reborn, there is much hatred.
Consider praying for peace to enter the hearts of all those
who are filled with anger, hate, and a compulsion for vengeance.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
