THE RISEN SAVIOR.

Jesus died on the afternoon OF the
sixth day of the week, which is Friday.
After the body was laid in the grave
the women who believed in him return
ed to Jerusalem and prepared spices
and otntments and rested the seventh
day, according to tho commandment.
This refers to the com nandment found
in Exodus 20:8.
Now, upon the first day of the week,
very early in the morning, they came
unto the sepulchre bringing the spices
which they had prepared, and certain
others with them, and they found the
stone rolled away from the sepulchre
and they entered in and found not the
Lord Jesus See Luke "a. Then two
angels apps ared and said why seek
ye the living among the dead? He is
not hero but Is arisen" What a Joy
filled the hearts of the holy womenl
They had come to emba, m the Savior's
body with costly spices but they met
angus VINO GOl0 IuCuI uhoV sAShA
lived. They ran to the disciples with
the good news that Jesus was not dead.
"He Is risen" is their good cry, but the
disciples could not believe them. Al
ter these women had gone Mary Mag
daline went 30 the grave Of Jesus. She
had not been there with the other wo-
~ chn for abe
thought the men had taken her Savior
away. Soon she heard voice, saying
'tWoman, why weepest thou; whom
/, seekest thou?" Mary looked and saw
, one whom she supposed to be the gar
| dener and she said "Sir, If thou have
borne him, hence, tell me where thou
. bastlaid him, and will take him away
. And Jesus said, MARY" Then she re-
tognized Jesus and in her JOY cried
] Rabbopi', or master.
| Later in the day Jesus met two o.
the disciples on their was to Emmaus
They did not know him until they
sat with him at supper. AS he blessed
the bread their eyes were opened ant
they knew him. Then Jesus disap
peared from their sight. The two dis
6fples came back to Jerusalem and tolC
the news to the others. AS they were
talking Jesus came among them him
self and said, Peace be unto you" A
first they we're afraid but he showed
them the prints of the nail holes in hi
hands. Then they rejoiced and from
this time on their watchword was, "Je
sus is risen Jesus had said 81 am thu
resurrection and the life." The resur
raction of Jesus broke the bonds o
death and made possible the final re
surrecLion of all the righteous. Tn,
