The resurrection morning is a true sun-rising, the inbursting of a cloudless sky on all the righteous dead. They wake transfigured, at their Maker's call, with the fashion of their countenance altered and shining like His own.

More quotes by Horace Bushnell
It doth not yet appear what we shall be. We lie here in our nest, unfledged and weak, guessing dimly at our future, and scarce believing what even now appears. But the power is in us, and that power is finally to be revealed. And what a revelation will that be!
Horace Bushnell
Jesus is the true manifestation of God, and He is manifested to be the regenerating power of a divine life.
Horace Bushnell
As long as we abide in Christ, our action is from Him, not from our own corrupt and broken nature.
Horace Bushnell
Habits are to the soul what the veins and arteries are to the blood, the courses in which it moves
Horace Bushnell
Be an observer of providence for God is showing you ever, by the way in which He leads you, whither He means to lead. Study your trials, your talents, the world's wants, and stand ready to serve God now, in whatever He brings to your hand.
Horace Bushnell
It is the grand endeavor of the gospel to communicate God to men.
Horace Bushnell
Live as with God and, whatever be your calling, pray for the gift that will perfectly qualify you in it.
Horace Bushnell
Take your burdens, and troubles, and losses, and wrongs, if come they must and will, as your opportunities, knowing that God has girded you for greater things than these.
Horace Bushnell
Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement.
Horace Bushnell
It is the grandeur of Christ's character which constitutes the chief power of His ministry, not His miracles or teachings apart from His character. The greatest triumph of the Gospel is Christ Himself--a human body become the organ of the Divine nature, and revealing, under the conditions of an earthly life, the glory of God.
Horace Bushnell
Be sure that Christ is not behind you, but before, calling and drawing you on. This is the liberty, the beautiful liberty of Christ. Claim your glorious privilege in the name of a disciple be no more a servant, when Christ will own you as a friend.
Horace Bushnell
To understand a philosopher requires a philosopher.
Horace Bushnell
Morality, taken as apart from religion, is but another name for decency of sin.
Horace Bushnell
O, if we could tear aside the vail, and see for but one hour what it signifies to be a soul in the power of an endless life, what a revelation would it be!
Horace Bushnell
It is only Christianity, the great bond of love and duty to God, that makes any existence valuable or even tolerable.
Horace Bushnell
Guilt is the very nerve of sorrow.
Horace Bushnell
We come, in our trust, unto God, and the moment we so embrace Him, by committing our total being and eternity to Him, we find every thing is transformed. There is life in us from God a kind of Christ-consciousness is opened in us, testifying with the apostle,--Christ liveth in me.
Horace Bushnell
Education is only second to nature.
Horace Bushnell
Christ does not dress up a moral picture, and ask you to observe its beauty. He only tells you how to live and the most beautiful characters the world has ever seen, have been those who received and lived these precepts without once conceiving their beauty.
Horace Bushnell
Christ is known only by them that receive Him into their love, their faith, their deep want known only as He is enshrined within, felt as a Divine force, breathed in the inspirations of the secret life.
