Quote of the Day: Resurrection

And this resurrection is itself evidence of the eternal life secured by and granted through the of Christ. Without this resurrection, faith is void and preaching useless (I Cor. 15:14), and “you are still in your sins” (15:17); because of this resurrection, new life has been secured (15:22), has been vanquished (15:55) and a blow has been delivered to “every rule and every authority and power” (15:24) which has reared itself against the rule of God in the universe. At the Cross, Christ triumphed over his enemies. In that triumph lie human freedom and meaning. [David F. Wells, Above All Earthly Powers (Eerdmans, 2005), p. 198]
