Words for the Weekend

“When Christ left the grave, it was not merely an announcement that there is a hereafter and a life beyond . . . it was the shattering of history by a creative act of God Almighty. In this cosmic event . . . God was doing something comparable only with what He had done at the first creation. This was the beginning of a new era for the universe, the decisive turning-point for the human race. . . . In the Resurrection the new age had arrived, and . . . this stupendous miracle signified the storming of history and the transforming of the world.”

- James S. Stewart, A Faith to Proclaim (Of First Importance)
