"If there is a crucifix and not an empty cross, we are yet in our sins. If Christ is not risen, Christianity is a cruel hoax. If our Savior is dead our preaching is vain and your faith is vain. If there is no empty tomb, there is no hope beyond the grave. If there is no “good news" of the resurrection, then there is only the “bad news” of Jesus’ death. If Christ is not risen, the Bible is not God’s Word…Christ cannot save… He was a liar & an imposter…the O.T. prophecies are untrue…the 40+ references to His resurrection in the N.T. are deceptions…the Apostles and millions of others laid down their lives for a non-existent cause…churches are rip - offs…missionaries leave homes, families, etc. foolishly…millions of dollars are thrown away in a senseless attempt to convert others…people are “harassed” by believers for nothing…the heathen should be left alone…and Christians who gather in His name for worship, praise & power engage in a charade!"~ Dr. Paul Fedena
"The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the crowning proof of Christianity. If the resurrection did not take place, then Christianity is a false religion. If it did take place, then Christ is God and the Christian faith is absolute truth.”--Henry Morris
“Before we can reason the resurrection out of history we must reason Paul and Christianity out of existence. We must admit the miracle or frankly confess that we stand before an inexplicable mystery.”--Dr Philip Schaff
“What happened as a result of the Resurrection is unprecedented in human history. In the span of a few hundred years, a small band of seemingly insignificant believers succeeded in turning an entire empire upside down. As has been well said, ‘They faced the tyrant’s brandished steel, the lion’s gory mane, and the fires of a thousand deaths,’ because they were utterly convinced that they, like their Master, would one day rise from the grave in glorified, resurrected bodies.”--Unknown
“The cradle and the cross are of little value without the resurrection. But the cradle plus the cross, plus the resurrection, equals salvation.”--Tony Bazen
“God made Adam. He was not fashioned after any model. There had never been a human organism, and so there was nothing to copy. At the first attempt God made a perfect man. He made him out of the dust of the earth. If, out of ordinary dust of the earth and without a model, God could make a perfect man, surely out of the extraordinary dust of mortal body, and with millions of models, God can make each one of us a perfect being in the resurrection. Surely the last undertaking would not be greater than the first. See the gospel algebra: Ordinary dust minus a model equals a perfect man. Extraordinary dust and plus a model equals a resurrection body. Mysteries about it? Oh, yes; that is one reason why I believe it. It would not be much of a God who could do things only as far as I can understand. Mysteries? Oh, yes; but no more about the resurrection of your body than about its present existence.”--T. DeWitt Talmage
“Immortality is the glorious discovery of Christianity”--Channing
“The tomb could hold Him no 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 arose that Resurrection day!’”--Unknown
“The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a certainty, If any fact, not merely of Christianity, but of history, stands on an impregnable foundation, this does.”--B. P. Goodwin D. D.
“The fact of resurrection is not extraordinary; it is in accord with what we who believe at all believe to be the uniform law of life—that death does not touch it. The witnesses to the resurrection of Christ were unprejudiced, unexpectant, incredulous, and their honesty is not doubted even by skeptical criticism.”— Charles Spurgeon
