The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the birth of a new, glorious, immortal life on the realms of the midnight of death, the rising of the new sun on the terrors of darkness and night. It is the opening of a bright and noble highway to Heaven where everything had been closed and sealed and every hope withered. The resurrection of Christ not only lifts darkness and dread from the tomb but also spans the abyss which separates us from our loved dead and puts into us the strength and hope of a glorious reunion. — E.M. Bounds

God expects from men something more…at such times, and that it were much to be wished for the credit of their religion as well as the satisfaction of their conscience that their Easter devotions would in some measure come up to their Easter dress.
— Robert South
