Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come.
I have a great need for Christ: I have a great Christ for my need.
There would be no Christmas if there had not been Easter. The babe Jesus of Bethlehem would be but another baby without the redeeming Christ of Gethsemane and Calvary, and the triumphant fact of the Resurrection.
The Resurrection is the eucatastrophe of the story of the Incarnation – This story begins and ends in joy.
If Christ is risen, nothing else matters. And if Christ is not risen-nothing else matters.
