Here in the resurrection of Jesus

Here in the Resurrection of Jesus is the fact which at the first launched Christianity upon the world and conquered the throne of the Caesars; here is the rock on which the Church was built and has stood for two thousand years; here is the good news which, a million times, has dried the tears of the desolate and solaced the bruised heart’s dumb agony.
