Easter quotes & verses
~Palm Sunday celebrates Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. A huge crowd welcomed Jesus by placing palm branches along his path to honor him. Remember that you can welcome Christ into your heart and home today.
~Jesus' disciples placed their trust and hope in Christ alone. And just as he told them, he returned to them....
Mark 16:5-7: 5 "As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. 6 "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.' "
~A great idea as an Easter Basket gift is a bags of jelly beans stapled to this Jelly Bean Prayer:
Red is for the blood He gave
Green is for the grass He made
Yellow is for the sun so bright
Orange is for the edge of night
Black is for the sins we made
White is for the grace he gave
Purple is for His hours of sorrow
Pink is for our tomorrow!
~"The sinless One took on the face of a sinner so that we sinners could take on the face of a saint." - Max Lucado, "On Calvary's Hill"
~"We understand and acknowledge that the Resurrection has placed a glorious crown upon all of Christ’s sufferings!" - A.W. Tozer
~"Many missed the reality of Jesus when he came to the earth, and many are still missing his reality today." - Emmanuel Church Minnesota. There's a cute cartoon online that shows the Easter Bunny with a basket of eggs and all the children running to greet Jesus instead. The caption says, "Silly, Rabbit. Easter is for Jesus." Will you make a commitment this Easter to share what this holiday is really all about?

~"Our old history ends with the cross; our new history begins with the resurrection." - Watchman Nee

~"Faith is the art of holding on to things in spite of your changing moods and circumstances.” - C.S. Lewis. Think of the faith that Jesus had in his Father's plan for the world.
