Christ Lives Lesson for April 1, 1956

“/"WRIST is risen!” The words will be said and sung many thousand times this Easter. Whai do they, mean? Let us leave out oi sight all those to whom the words mean nothing but a vestige ol superstition at the worst, a picturesque symbol of something altogether different, at best What do

Dr. Foreman

these words mean to those who do believe them? It is possible to believe this sentence literally and firmly, and yet be as dead to their joyous meaning as if they were a weather report of 40 years ago. They

portend a miracle; but yesterday’s miracles may not be especially interesting. Do you feel a kind of rapture an reading about the frogs in Pharaoh's palace, the miracle-frogs? Does it help your malaria to read about the cures St Paul did at Ephesus? Yesterday’s miracles may even d>e discouraging, just because they are yesterday’s. The Resurrection of Christ is not in a class with any other miracle. For the early Christians it was THE event of history. The Ormß Eye It is no accident that the church says and sings, “Christ is risen” more often than “Christ rose.” The Resurrection is a kind of contemporary miracle. It has many meanings, but consider three of them, in the lives of the plain people who first experienced the truth of iL Remember, the Resurrection was nothing they had been looking for, nothing they had the wit to invent. It came as a shock, it upset all their ideas, it remade their world. First of all and including everything else, the Resurrection means the presence, here and today not less than there in the dawn of Christian time, the presence of the living Christ, the present companion of all who love him. First of all, his presence there in Emmaus and indeed on the road across the hills, the opened eye. With him for 1 guide, the man Cleopas and hie* friend saw things in the Scriptures they had never seen before. The Scriptures, like a closed gate, opened to thefr inward eye. Then in the supper-room as the bread was broken, again their eyes were opened, and they knew him. So the risen Christ today and always opens the eyes of men; inspired by him, we understand God’s Book and God’s Son as we can never do alone. The Burning Heart The second thing the disciples felt was a burning heart. John Calvin invented a coat of arms for himself, showing an outstretched hand and a burning heart, offered to God. It might serve as the coat of arms for all who have felt the presence of the living risen Christ Two young rfien were arguing about the Resurrection, and they were greatly puzzled about it They asked a much older man what were his reasons for believing it to be true. “Why,” the old man said, “I just talked with Him this morning!” Life gains a warmth, a flame, from contact with Christ as from no other contact possible. Jesus as a historical character our curiosity, our imagination. Christ as a problem in theology excites us to think. But Christ as a living presence sets life on fire. Who are the people who witness most enthusiastically about Jesus? They are the ones who will sing, “He walks with me and he talks with me,. . That Jesus lived is interesting and important That he lives, lives now, in me—that is life-changing. The Hastening Feet AH around the world this Easter churches wiU be ringing with song and bright with flowers. In the most unlikely places, there are Christians. You wiU find that those churches in far places were started there by men and women who believed in and knew the risen Christ. If there is a church which caUs itself “Christian” but does not believe in the Resurrection, its Christ is as dead as any other bygone hero. Such a church will not send many missionaries. A dead Christ hurries no man’s footsteps, eases no man’s burden, lights no man’s hour of sorrow. Only the living Christ kindles the burning heart, opens the blind eyes, sets men’s feet upon a rock, and sends them out, like the first Christians, to chaHenge a world in his name. The feet of the two men hastening from Emmaus were but the first of billions, eager with God’s good news. and Son fellowship dinner and program. Douglas F. LeMaster will be the speaker. Saturday, 16 a.m., children’s choir rehearsal.

Easter — A Day of Joy And Rededication Rev, J. R. Meadows Go to Church on Easter Sunday has long been a slogan of the Church and meets with a ready response. But church attendance during the entire Lenten and Easter season should serve as a step toward re-consecratien. This may well be the day of solemn vows and a firm resolve to be of greater service. In these days or world stress, tfie Church must be vital. Only through the influence of religious people can this world be restored to an era of good will. Therefore, we are urging the people of every community to rededicate themselves to the task of the Church — serving humanity, for the Church needs you and you need the Church, for in each of us dwells the hope of a life that is everlasting, and the resurrection of nature in the spring serves to strengthen this hope. But there is yet another greater evidence of life hereafter. This
