Elisabeth Elliot, the widow of a missionary famously martyred in the Amazon rainforest who lived with the very tribe that killed him to win them over to Christ, wrote about the important of Easter in her book Keep a Quiet Heart.

“Easter, the most joyful of all Christian feast days, follows that most sorrowful of days we remember. The joy of Easter proceeds from the Cross,” she wrote.

“Without Christ pouring out His soul to death there would have been no resurrection. We cannot know Christ and the power of His resurrection without also entering into the fellowship of His suffering.”
