“It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.” — Winston S. Churchill
I am not sure when I became a fan of good quotes, but it is a good thing I am, as puts me in great company with Mr. Churchill. When I am at a loss for words and/or inspiration, I look up quotes on the subject.
With resurrection Sunday upon us, I found myself at a loss for words. The subject of My Lord Jesus’ resurrection is precious beyond words, but it needs to be expressed.
Therefore, I turn to the words of others. I hope the following thoughts will inspire you in your reflections about the awesomeness of what we celebrate this week.
