"Today, Good Friday, Christians remember the death of Jesus on the cross. It is to this bitter end that his declaration of the truth brought him. On Sunday, Christians will celebrate the Resurrection. That event is the guarantee not only of the claims that Jesus made, but also of his ability to accomplish his promises. It means that the truth is something to stick to even when it leads to the grave. Perhaps Easter can only be reached by way of the Cross, yet there is no other route than the way of truth." - Telegraph leader
"The truth of Christ’s death is the truth of all life on earth: that in the very depths of despair can come relief born of inner spiritual resilience. However adrift the Disciples must have felt, abandoned, ridiculed and disillusioned, they carried in them a message and a conviction that was stronger than anything else on earth — stronger even than death." - Times leader
