While the resurrection promises us a new and perfect life in the future, God loves us too much to leave us alone to contend with the pain, guilt and loneliness of our present life.

Every religious tradition is rooted in mysteries I don't pretend to understand, including claims about what happens after we die. But this I know for sure: as long as we're alive, choosing resurrection is always worth the risk.

The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.

No matter how devastating our struggles, disappointments, and troubles are, they are only temporary. No matter what happens to you, no matter the depth of tragedy or pain you face, no matter how death stalks you and your loved ones, the Resurrection promises you a future of immeasurable good.

Death is so important that God visited death upon his own son, thereby helping us learn right from wrong well enough that we may escape death forever and live eternally in God's grace.

If the Resurrection is resurrection from the dead, all hope and freedom are in spite of death.

Death is the beginning of something.

Every spiritual tradition has this idea of death and resurrection. It's not unique to Christianity.

The first requisite for immortality is death.

Every parting gives a foretaste of death, every reunion a hint of the resurrection.
