At THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
the Sabbath school participated In the Easter
service and the pastor, Rev. J. u. Milford,
preached TO the children. He took for his
text, 81 an the Resurrection"
In bis opening remarks he dweit upon the
home In Bethany where Jesus loved 10 visit,
referring to the death and burial Of Lazarus,
Following this Rev. Mr.. Mullord continued:
SO Jesus with the weeping sisters went to
the grave where Lazarus was buried. 1t was
not like the graves we see In our cemeteries,
those awful holes In the ground, but case
or little room In the sideol beautiful green
hill with q great stone before It.
Some OF the strong men rolled away the
stone 20 that everybody could look right In.
There lad dead Lazarus, all bound up with
grave clothes.
Then with a loud voice Jesus said, Lazarts
come forth, and In a moment, like an ODE.
dent child, Lazarus sprang upon Ills feet and
walked out Of his grave.
Not many months after this Jesus died
himself, and was buried Just like Lazarus.
hut after He had been three days in the
tomb, He Catue back to life and went into
the great city Of Jerusalem. When the dis.
ciples went TO visit the tomb OF the Lord they
found the sepulChre empty.
Now this Is what the Bible means BY rGsur.
rectiOn, dead man coming back 10 life.
And because Jesus has 30 much power, He
Is able to bring all his people back to life
A beautiful thought about the resurrection
Is that after we shall rise from our graves,
We shall never die again, but live forever
with Jesus. This Is what the Bible means by
eternal life, life that never has death.
This Is one OF the reasons why Jesus died
and rose AGAIN. TO make 1t possible and Ger.
tain that we should rise; Just as II some.
body should 60 ahead Of us along rocky,
NIL up all the holes, that we might pass along
in comfort and safety. : All about US
We sec resurrection, Every time the night
comes the day dies, and every time the sun
rises in the morning, the day comes back to
life. When winter comes and the snow falls
the old year dies. We look into the almanac
and see the old year like an old gray-headed
man just ready for the grave. But when
spring comes, when the birds come back and
the grass comes up, 1t has u resurrection.
Now the farmers are planting little grains OF
corn; burying them IN the ground. But In u
few weeks, little greer leaves will pop up and
In little while we will have the corn on our
dinner tables, Here again we see what
resurrection is. Now, when the flow
ers come back to life, how beautiful
they look, and every year we think
they are prettier than ever before,
Just so will It be with those who love Jesus.
When we arise from our graves, we shall be
more beautiful than ever before, for we shall
be covered with mantle more glorious than
the sunshine. We shall lsOk Just like Jesus,
Nor need we have any doubt about the rcsur-
reCtiOn. Jesus has said It will be and there.
fore 1t must be, for his word Is truert than even
the words Of our parents. Every grave you
ever saw, will one day burst open and from
them will come out those who have been
buried in them no matter how long ago.
Now from the resurrection we learn a very
important lesson, and that Is, how to spend
our days. Death is certain. No matter who
we are, we must die. No matter how rich
we are we cannot buy a year more OF life.
When death comes for us we must 70. II
then we must die, how careful we should be
how we live, for after death comes the judg.
ment, and Just as we have lived will we be
Judged, aud Just according to the sentence
God Will pronounce upon US, will we live for.
Then because we must die, we learn
another lesSou from the resurrection, which
is, Inc best way to die. Some people die without
q Savior and when they rise from their graves,
they will be punished forever, because they
refused to love the Lord. But others, who
have lived4nd worked for Jesus, will riss TO
enter into Heaven and dwell forever with
Jesus. No one can die happy who does not
love Jesus. Thus the best way to die, is to die
the friend and follower OF the Savior, This
is lesson that the resurrection teaches us.
Now then, since all ofuS must die and be.
cause all OF us rise and live forever either
with God or away from God, We should be
very glad that Jesus has said, ~ am the
resurrection and the life; He that believeth
IN me, though He were dead, yet shall hs
live" and where am We shall be aIso."
