A Few Easter quotes...
"Forgiving the unforgivable is hard. So was the cross: hard words, hard wood, hard nails."
William S. Stoddard, quoted in Wisdom from a Pastor's Heart, edited by Douglas Connelly
"Whoever heard of a suffering God? The idea is plain daft. God is up in heaven, and there he will stay. But wouldn't it be wonderful if it were true? If God came to visit us, like a great king visiting his subjects? Or, even better, if he came among us as one of us, sharing our way of life, with all its tragedy, sorrows and grief?"
Alister E. McGrath, What Was God Doing on the Cross?
"If we consider how utterly undeserved [the crucifixion] was, we call it grace; if we consider the cost, we call it atonement; if we consider the effect, we call it new life, redemption, sanctification."
Austin Farrer, A Faith of Our Own
