| GOLDEN TEXT am He that liveth,

| evermore.-Rev. 1:18.
The Story of Easter Morning-vs. Ills
| In the stories OF the different evangelists
| there are number Of variations and some
| times almost slight contradictions but all
| can be put together in one connected story.
as we do in this account. The resurrection
| Of Jesus took place very early in the morn
! ing, ''as it began to dawn" (2S:D. Nothing
is known Of the method or manner of His
! resurrection. Several women from differ
ent parts of the city came to the tomb early
! Sunday morning. bringing spices for the
| preservation of the body of Jesus. The
; first to arrive was Mary Magdalene, t. e.,
; Mary of Magdala, out of whom Jesus had
| cast seven demons, as recorded in Luke ST.
| She did not enter into the tomb but finding
1t empty, hastened away to tell Peter that
Jesus is not in the sepulcher. thinking that
! some one had stolen the body.
| In the meantime the other women ar
| rived at the tomb and. seeing the stone
| rolled away, they entered and saw two
, shining angels. The angels declared that
Jesus had risen from the dead.
The First Appearance of Jesus. Mary
| Magdalene had told Peter, and returned to
the sepulcher, when Jesus appeared to her
as she stood weeping near it in the garden
| John 2Ol1-1S).
| The Second Appea rance. 9. "And as they
went to tell His dsciples:" They were re-
| turning to Jerusalem by some other streets
than those by which Mary Magdalene, and
| Peter, and John had gone. Behold, Jesus
met them. saying, All hal:" Rejoice"
the usual form of salutation. Held Him
by the feet:" Clasped His feet, in reverent.
| affectionate Joy, to make sure that it was
indeed their Lord. and to express their
gladness. And worshiped Him." With
religious worship or alteration.
10. "Go tell my brethren that they go into
Galilee:" According to His promise before
He died, that He would meet them there
(Matt. 26:32).
Confirmation by Enemies. IL when
they were going" While they were away
on this errand. Some Of the watch:'' The
guard set by PLATE at the request Of the
chief priests to watch the sepulcher. lest
the disciples should steal His body and
say He was risen (Matt. H62-66). "Shewed
unto the chief priests:'' Under whose
charge they were. 'Au the things that
were done:" They told the simple truth as
the best possible excuse for their seeming
negligence.
II. Gave large money unto the soldiers:''
The report the soldiers made was so dan
gerous to their own lives, that small
sum could induce them to crminate them
selves; but the entire results OF all the ef-
forts to destroy Jesus seemed to depend
upon 1t.
13. Say We. His disciples came by night.
and stole Him away while we slept" The
absurdity and stupidity Of this statement
ciples had no m otive for stealing the body.
They did not expect a resurrection. They
did not know Its importance. What could
they have done with the body to escape de-
lection?
