Easter, Virtue and Ben Franklin

Well, here it is –Easter Sunday, and I’ve still got a few good quotes for you from someone you’ve never heard of. But for Easter that’s OK!

Angels, roll the rock away;
Death yield up thy mighty prey;
See, He rises from the tonb,
Glaring with immortal bloom.
Al-le-lu-ia! Al-le-lu-ia!
Christ the Lord is risen today!
–Thomas Scott

Ben Franklin“Today one grave is open, and from it has risen a sun that will never be obscured, that will never set, a sun that creates new life, This new sun is the crucified one, the Son of God.” –Jean Marie Vianney

“Easter is the truth that turns a church from a museum to a ministry.
–Warren Wierbse

In light of all this, Benjamin Franklin warned: “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”

Give it some thought as you consider your own life!
