Easter 2024: Resurrection and the Life

Shared by the Laningas

I AM the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth, and believeth in me shall never die.
John 11:25-26

We wait for the Lord, our Beloved,
Our Comforter, Master and Friend,
The substance of all that we hope for,
Beginning of faith and its end;
We watch for our Saviour and Bridegroom
Who loved us and made us His own;
For Him we are looking and longing;
For Jesus, and Jesus alone.
~Annie Johnson Flint

If the Christ who had died had stopped at the cross,
His work had been incomplete,
If the Christ that was buried had stayed in the tomb,
He had only known defeat.
But the way of the cross never stops at the cross,
And the way of the tomb leads on 
To victorious grace in the heavenly place
Where the RISEN Lord has gone.
~Annie Johnson Flint

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.
~Jim Elliot
