New Life

(George MacDonald - found here)

“The world...is full of resurrections... Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death; and those of you that have been out early, and have seen the first of the dawn, will know it—the day rises out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb and escaped into life.”

“On Good Friday Jesus died but rose again at Eastertide...Lord, teach us to understand that your Son died to save us not from suffering but from ourselves, not from injustice...but from being unjust. He died that we might live—but live as he lives, by dying as he died who died to himself.”

~George MacDonald
