12 QUOTES ABOUT THE RESURRECTION

The door of faith is hinged on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Resurrection is an everyday hope not just an Easter hype. THE defining event in world history is the Resurrection. Jesus said, “"I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.” John 11:25-26 (NLT) 12 Quotes About the Resurrection 1. “If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said?

One Thing The night before Jesus was crucified he called his disciples together. He knew what they didn't - this would be their last supper together. He wanted to make a lasting impression on them.
