The resurrection is not about a better way to live until we die.
The resurrection is about the promise that though we will die, yet we will live.

Tim Keller
A faith without some doubts is like a human body without any antibodies in it. People who blithely go through life too busy or indifferent to ask hard questions about why they believe as they do will find themselves defenseless against either the experience of tragedy or the probing questions of a smart skeptic. A person’s faith can collapse almost overnight if she has failed over the years to listen patiently to her own doubts, which should only be discarded after long reflection.

Kent Hughes
All Resurrection-denying churches look for Jesus “among the dead.” They love the example of the dead Jesus. They preach his courage, his conviction, even his faith. Sentimentality fills their sermons with language about recurrent spring making hope eternal, about a butterfly discarding its chrysalis. But the R word is never used, except metaphorically.

J. C. Ryle
The first preachers were men who were convinced in spite of themselves and in spite of a determined, obstinate unwillingness to believe.
