Resurrection Quotes

Quotes About Resurrection 

  • Because of the empty tomb, we have peace. Because of His resurrection, we can have peace during even the most troubling of times because we know He is in control of all that happens in the world. –Paul Chappell
  • Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone but in every leaf of springtime. –Martin Luther
  • Our old history ends with the cross; our new history begins with the resurrection. –Watchman Nee
  • Remember that grace and truth cannot finally be crucified. Remember that all the high things that make humanity beautiful cannot be forever laid in the dust, spattered with blood. And most of all, remember that He who rose from the dead, rose to pour out His Holy Spirit into human lives, and, by that Spirit, to make available to any individual all the fullness of Himself, twenty-four hours a day. –Ray C. Stedman
  • Share the gratitude and good news of the resurrection of Jesus. Easter Sunday reminds us all of our heavenly calling and of the open door for a relationship with God through Jesus, His Son.
  • We understand and acknowledge that the Resurrection has placed a glorious crown upon all of Christ's sufferings –A. W. Tozer
  • What happened on that day (of Easter) became, was and remained the centre around which everything else moves. For everything lasts its time, but the love of God - which was at work and was expressed in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead - lasts forever. Because this event took place, there is no reason to despair, and even when we read the newspaper with all its confusing and frightening news, there is every reason to hope. --Karl Barth

Acknowledge Your Humanity = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how it is important to acknowledge our humanity. High-road leaders do this by not only accepting what they do well, but also what they don’t do well—where they are lacking. When you are in touch with yourself, and acknowledge your humanness, you are able to love people, acknowledge their humanity, and appreciate them without judgment.

Bringing People Together in a World That Divides | MWM
Practice Bringing People Together = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, is about the characteristics that high road leaders possess that sets them apart from people who travel the middle or low road.

Do the Right Things for the Right Reasons | MWM
Motivate, Don’t Manipulate = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how motives matter because people matter.

It is important to do the right things for the right reasons. 
#Motivation


Give More Than You Take | MWM
Give More Than You Take = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road. Those that travel the high road, give more than they take. Low road leaders take more than they give. Middle road leaders give equal to what they receive. High road leaders know people are valuable, and if you are a plus in the lives of others, they will come to you with love and you will have an increased influence on them.

You go through hard things today so you can handle and develop the emotional capacity to do harder things tomorrow. You need emotional strength and capacity in addition to your gifts in order to succeed.

Be Real And Honest = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road.

Authenticity doesn't guarantee success, but lack of authenticity does guarantee failure.

Who Are You Accountable To? | MWM
Reach Your Potential With Accountability = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road. High road leaders do this by taking accountability for their actions. They admit mistakes. Power corrupts, but a high road leader stays accountable to other people, which helps keep them on track. When you are accountable, others will help you be a better person than you could have become on your own. 
#Accountability


See More Than What Is — See What Could Be | MWM
See Yourself In The Bigger Picture = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road.

You have to see yourself in the bigger picture in order to get there.
