Top Highlights

“‘How is your daily living affected by the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and why?’” (Page 13)

“Neutrality is not an option. Either Jesus rose and rightly demands your attention, repentance, trust and obedience, or He stayed dead. If He only became a rotting corpse why should you follow Him?” (Pages 15–16)

“The resurrection is a key teaching. This key opens up the door to lead us to real blessing. May the resurrection key open up the truth of God’s word to you.” (Page 13)

“Contact with a dead body would not only have made them unclean, but would have broken their Sabbath rules.” (Page 22)

“One hundred pounds weight of spices are put on that battered, bruised, torn and lifeless body” (Page 20)

Praise for the Print Edition

Reading this book gave me a growing awareness that the truth of Jesus’ resurrection influences all areas of our daily Christian lives.
