THE DECATOX DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Victory Day Leaaon foe April 8, IMB EVERY Sunday to VE Day. « people only know it It la Mm day the church oelebratea the greatest victory tn history. VE hero stands not tor Vlctory-ln-Europe, but for Victory an Earth. Other planets unknown to us may be, or may have been, the acene

’ Dr. Feremaa

of other Undo of victories; but on earth the first Easter day saw, end each aueceedlng Easter—indeed each succeeding Sunday commemorates the great victory which Christ achieved over

the two greatest enemies of man: sin and death. Some of our Easter hymns bring out the note of triumph, notably the familiar “The strife is o’er, the battle done.- . Twa Victorios Os all the enemies of the race of man, the two that do us the most barm, that have the greatest power over us, are sin and death. Both these arc personified in the Bible. Probably th? writers who spoke of Sin and Death as if they were personalities, evil demons as it were, knew what they were doing, and knew that to speak of sin and death as living personalities is a bold figure of speech. We use such figures of speech all the time, however, and need offer no apologies. We say “sin rears its ugly head” or "Death laid its cold hand on our friend" and so on. Sin is not a person, and neither is death; but we can speak of them as if they were personal. And they certainly do us harm. Sin twists, deforms and paralyzes man's best impulses; sin keeps men from being truly normal; sin is indeed responsible for most ot the troubles of mankind. Death also seems to hold a grudge against us human beings. It always seems to come too early or too late; and it never chooses a convenient time. (There i*MF Sense, also, in which death is' the greatest friend of man; but that is another side of the story. In -the Bible death is always against man. not for him.) Christ’s whole life, culminating in the Cross, was a victory over sin; and the resurrection was a crowning victory, over death. , “lmm«asnrabl« Grgafnsts of Rawer” Certainly since the first Easter, or since people began to meditate on the meaning of that momentous morning, Christians have not been afraid, as many persons still are, of sin and death. They have found victory over both, in Christ You find this thought in many places in the New Testament, not only in Ephesians: that the Christian so identifies himself with Christ that he can be said to go through the same experiences Christ had—of death, burial, resurrection. To put it another way, the victory of Christ over sin and death is not his own lone victory, rather it is a victory shared -vith his people—with all who deeply desire to share it This Is part of what being "in Christ" means. Assurance of Victory So Easter is more than a day when we remember a victory long ago. It is a day when Christians should remember that this is their victory too. It is a victory both , won, and yet to be won. It is past, in Galilee and Jerusalem; it is present, in the life of true Christians; it Is future in its final and complete glory. Most Christians, sad to say, do not realize this If they would take their New Testament" seriously they would discover that God has for them resources never yet. tapped. The game mighty power that was in Christ and that made it possible for him to conquer sin is “in us who believe”—4/ we really want it The same power that raised him from the dead goes with us into the Valley of the Shadow. The church, when she takes herself seriously, is not afraid of calamities. She has outlived many; she can outlast many more. For to the church, and to the individual Christians who make up the Church, is the very power of God. So Easter is the day of Destiny; the light of Resurrection morning is a foregleam of the glory God holds yet to store. For the world may totter from crisis to crisis; but the purposes of God will not fail us as he goes marching on. CALVARY E. U. B.
