Aiden Wilson Tozer, an influential early 20th century theological writer and preacher best known for his book The Pursuit of God, wrote about the eternal significance of the resurrection of Jesus.

“One thing the resurrection teaches us is that we must not trust appearances. The leafless tree says by its appearance that there will be no second spring. The body in Joseph’s new tomb appears to signify the end of everything for Christ and His disciples. The limp form of a newly dead believer suggests everlasting defeat,” wrote Tozer.

“Yet how wrong are all these appearances. The tree will bloom again. Christ arose the third day according to the Scriptures, and the Christian will rise at the shout of the Lord and the voice of the archangel. Faith can afford to accept the appearance of defeat, knowing the true believer cannot be defeated finally.”
