I've been reading some of the writings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this month and came across this quote while reading this morning. Dr. King wrote an article in a Christian magazine about the philosophy of nonviolent resistance and this quote comes from that article under the 'Faith' section.
"Those of us who call the name of Jesus Christ find something at the center of our faith which forever reminds us that God is on the side of truth and justice. Good Friday may occupy the throne for a day, but ultimately it must give way to the triumph of Easter. Evil may so shape events that Caesar will occupy a palace and Christ a cross, but that same Christ arose and split history into A.D. and B.C., so that even the life of Caesar must be dated by His name."
