Easter Quotes
- Knowing that the Cross and the grave lay before Him, Jesus felt a need to spend time in intercession so He might gain the strength He needed to face what lay before Him.
- Learn from the example of Judas Iscariot. Determine that you will never let any issue get so blown out of proportion that it turns you into a disloyal, lying, betraying friend. And if you are hurting right now because someone has recently betrayed and hurt you, choose the route of forgiveness.
- Intense emotional stress produces mental and physical distress. Jesus not only suffered on every level, but He also persevered through pain more difficult than you can conceive. Therefore, He not only completely understands everything you could possibly go through, He even empathizes with you as well.
- Satan was terrified of Jesus, and he revealed his fear of the Messiah long before the Garden of Gethsemane. When Jesus was born on this earth, the enemy inspired Herod the Great to slaughter all the babies in Bethlehem and the surrounding region in an attempt to kill Him.
- Instead of arguing or trying to prove a point, Jesus simply surrendered, went with the soldiers, and gave His life for the very men who arrested Him. So, when people misunderstand you, follow Jesus’ example. Back off and take some time to think and pray about the matter before you proceed.

- It is certainly painful to feel betrayed by someone close to you. But if you’ll allow this experience to work for you and not against you, it will make you a stronger and better person. And when you come out on the other side, you’ll be in a position to understand what others are going through who have been hurt by betrayal so you can be a help and a blessing to them.
- Don’t be too shocked if you discover that someone you thought was with you all the way really isn’t with you at all. If this ever happens to you, remember that it happened to Jesus too. Just as God used Jesus to extend mercy, grace, and patience to Judas Iscariot, God may be using you now to give an unfaithful person a chance to have a change of heart so he can become faithful.
- When the Great “I AM” opens His mouth and speaks, every power that attempts to defy Him or His Word is pushed backward and shaken until it staggers, stumbles, and falls to the ground!
- If you are carrying a heavy load of sin, there is nothing you can do in the natural to pay that debt. But Jesus can, and He has already paid your debt on the Cross. He has stamped the debt under your name as paid in full! All you have to do is receive Him as your Lord and Savior.
- Never forget that because Jesus was willing to offer His own blood for the full payment of our sinful debt, we are forgiven and utterly debt-free. The words “Paid in Full” were stamped on your past sinful record because Jesus paid the price for your redemption with His own blood.
- Jesus left His heavenly home and took upon Himself human flesh and because of this great exchange, He has stood in our place and has felt what we feel. Even today, He is touched with the feelings of our infirmities, and He intercedes for us with great compassion as our High Priest.
