It’s April 21st, Easter Sunday, 2019…and here’s our traditional Easter edition of The Gouge, courtesy of C.S. Lewis and the Lamb who was slain!

“It cost God nothing, so far as we know, to create nice things: but to convert rebellious wills cost Him crucifixion.”

“‘What are we to make of Christ?’ There is no question of what we can make of Him, it is entirely a question of what He intends to make of us. You must accept or reject the story.”

“To preach Christianity meant (to the Apostles) primarily to preach the Resurrection. … The Resurrection is the central theme in every Christian sermon reported in the Acts. The Resurrection, and its consequences, were the ‘gospel’ or good news which the Christians brought.”

“Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him, everything else thrown in.”

For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son, that he soever believeth in Him shall NOT perish, but have everlasting life.

Christ the Lord IS risen today; Hallelujah!
