THE EASTER RESURRECTION
OF JESUS CHRIST.
The Most Dramatic Event in Church His

vInlty- 50 1 leave the mystery where
the Gospel leaves it
If the physical resurrection OF Jesus
be the accepted thought, then a second
marvel is needed. It is no novelty Of
opinion, this, on my part It is the
opinion of many years I remember,
When a young man, I argued with my
venerable father on this point He held
the traditional thought upon this sub
1ect- said 10 him Father. if Jesus
rose from the sepulchre in the outer
and f1eshly body in which He lived on

wrought by which He passed out of the
physical Into q spiritual body % To
which my father said. Yes I felt at
the time Of this conversation. as feel
now, that such a view uecessitates two
marveIs where one is sufficient Why
should we burden faith with 4 redupIi-
cate mystery2
This I hold to be vital to the faith of
the Church That we believe the story
of the resurrection to be the record of
an actual fact; that the Church was
not under an hallucinatiOu when 1t be-
liaved that He Showed Himself alive
to them after His passion by many in
falHble proofs"
What, then, was the resurrection of
Jesus2 You VIII have anticipated my
answer 10 this question It was the
manifestation Of Himself in what Paul
called His spiritual body" The spirit
passed out of the earthly tabernacle
into the house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens" In this spirit
ual body He manifested himself to His
disciples
