“The late Dr. R. W. Dale, the great preacher of Birmingham, described how one day, while he was writing an Easter sermon, the fact of the Resurrection broke in upon him as it had never done before.
“ ‘Christ is alive,’ I said to myself: ‘alive!’ and then I paused: ‘alive!’ and then I paused again; ‘alive! Can that really be true? Living as really as I myself am?’ I got up and walked about repeating, ‘Christ is living! Christ is living!’ At first it seemed strange and hardly true, but at last it came upon me as a burst of sudden glory.”
