Christ Um Lesson for March 2D, 1959 inirHAT happened on Easter .VV morning is out on the fringe,’’ says a modem writer on the life of Christ. On the other hand, there are some who make a great point of th* empty tomb and the physical resurrection of Christ. This brings out an argument that goes on and on: Which is more important, the fact of the Resurrection, or the meaning of the Resurrection ? Fad Withost Maaalag Consider what the effect is if we.

concentrate entirely on the fact that the tomb into which Jesus’ body was put on Friday evening was empty on Sunday morning, and that it waa empty because the body of Jesus had miraculously

come alive again and walked out. Now the evidence for thia as a fact is strong. More than one person who set out to show that the evidence la unconvincing, has wound up by believing it. A few years ago some one wrote a very learned article intending to prove that the body of Jesus could not possibly have been put into a separate tomb, and that the women were quite mistaken when they found an empty tomb — mistaken, because the body had never been there in the first place. But how did that writer arrive at such „a conclusion? Only by the skeptical writ* ing-off, aS worthless, all the testimony there is in the Gospels that the women did know, very well, where the body was supposed to be, and that a mistake under the circumstances was impossible. Nevertheless, if we never get our minds off the empty tomb and the physical resurrection, we shall miss too much. Nowadays especially, with all the medical miracles that are reported about people who have been brought back to Ufa after being officially dead, a return to life does not in itself arouse the wonder it once did. Furthermore, Is emphasis on the physical resurrection an emphasis in the right place ? Visitors to certain hospitals can see things in the shape of human beings which nevertheless never act like human beings; they are more like vegetables. That a body is alive may be a tragedy, if the spirit and mind are not alive too. So the really important thing about Jesus is that he was and is alive, not that his mere body lived again. Meaning WltliMt Fatto On the other hand, suppose we emphasize the meaning of the I Resurrection, that Christ lives—more than that indeed -that because he lives we shall live also. Then we shall be striking the center of the message of Easter. But what happens if we say, at the same time, "We believe in the Easter Faith” (meaning some sort of belief in immortality, perhaps)” but we are not interested in the Easter facts” ? Strange as it may seem, there are people who have just that point of view. When we get rid of all the fancy language they use, what they are saying , comes down to this: We don’t know what happened on the first Easter, and we don’t care. We are concerned with the meaning of what never happened. To put all one’s faith hi the facts and disregard the meaning of Easter is to build a solid foundation and leave it, a useless curiosity. The Mtaiiliigt as the Facta

A study of the New Testament will show any reader that the first Christians prized both facts and meaning. They never did say much, if anything, about the empty tomb, in sermons or letters; only in the Gospel stories. Christ is risen! was the cry. But that Joyful ery pointed to something loftier and mors precious than a plain livingagain. The New Testament writers dwelt lovingly on the meaning of the Resurrection: it was God’s stamp of approval en his Son; it was the triumph of Christ over sin and death, a triumph in which all hie people wtU one day share; it was a sure token es a future beyond death; it was the Christian’s glimpse into the meaning of heaven; it was a pledge es God’s love and poaveat

THEN CAME EASTER MORN BEV. JAMES B. MEADOWS The resurrection is an historical fact; but to those who believe, it is much more—it is an experience of life. Good Friday was the darkest day in human history. They crucified our Lord—laid Him in a grave. When the sun sank that night, human hope also died. Darkness had conquered light; fear had mastered courage; death had triumphed over life. Early those who loved Him sought His grave. But he was not there—He had risen. And with Him rose hope and courage and joy and faith. And because He lives all men know that the Spirit is master of the flesh, that life is more powerful than death, that right must eventually prevail over wrong. On this Easter day you and I

share in that joy; we shake off the fears which have bound us, and face life with new hope. Let each Christian on this Easter Sunday as we worship the true and tiie living God, resolve in our heart that, by God’s power we will strive to serve Him better in the "days ahead than we ever have in the past, and ask Him to search our hearts and purge us from any thing that is displeasing to Him. How important it is for each one of us to spent more time in prayer for a lost world that scales may fall from the unbeliever’s eyes that they may see Jesus, the one who died for their sins. THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”—John 11:25 , 26. If you have something to sell or Want Ad — They bring results, rooms for rent, try a Democrat
