Untitled Sermon (8)

Hope is a waking dream.

Aristotle

My only hope is that I shall be clothed with the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones

I our Christian hope is just as good as Jesus Christ. Your anticipation for the future lives or dies with Jesus. If He is who He said He was, you can spread your wings and soar.4

A. W. Tozer

5903 As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is a mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins to be a strength. Like all the Christian virtues, it is as unreasonable as it is indispensable.

G. K. Chesterton

There is no love without hope,

no hope without love,

and neither hope nor love without faith.

Augustine of Hippo

Perhaps the transformation of the disciples of Jesus is the greatest evidence of all for the resurrection.

John Stott; Robert J. Morgan

The same power that brought Christ back from the dead is operative within those who are Christ’s. The resurrection is an ongoing thing.

Leon Morris

The resurrection is God’s “Amen!” to Christ’s statement, “It is finished.”

—S. Lewis Johnson

S. Lewis Johnson

The resurrection was not created by the church; rather, the church was created by the resurrection.

Darrell L. Bock

Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life.

William Law

On the one hand, the resurrection of Christ is a fact to be believed. On the other hand, it is an experience to connect with, not just that we believe in, but that we experience.

Timothy Keller
