Taken from "Jesus Lives!" by Jack Graham in the April edition of Decision magazine (in part):


"Jesus tells us in John 11:25, 'I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live." Because of that, the cross is transformed from an ignominious symbol of death and torture to a triumphant sybmb ol of glory.....and Calvary comes through again and again of the risen Christ.

"For the believer, there is an expected end that we will be with Christ forever. Because of Easter....because Jesus is alive...we don't expect a hopeless end. Because we place our trust and future in the nail-scarred hands of the risen Redeemer, we expect an endless hope.!"
