Jesus Triumphant Over Death.
Mark, 1920.
Golden Text: Now hath Christ
been raised from tho dead.
I Corinthian, 1920.
By Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

There are three stories connected
with the resurrection which appeal
to every student Of Gods Word. The
first Is the appearance Of Jesus to
the two disciples as they walked on
the way from Jerusalem to Emmaus.
Passing reference only is made by
Mark to this story. The second is
the one where Jesus appeared to the
small group of disciples beside the
breakfasting together. the Master
took Simon Peter aside and three
times confronted him with the
heart-searching question. Lowest
thou me?" The third story is the ac-
count of the meeting between Jesus
and Mary Magdalene, who was the
first person to whom the risen Lord
appeared. The story grips US with its
power and force. for in it there is
found the answer to the question of
the ages.
Let US recall the circumstances fol-
lowing the crucifixion on the cross.
The little band Of disciples became
discouraged. Into the tomb with the
body Of Jesus went their fondest
hopes and ambitions. These sturdy
fishermen and followers thought that
all was lost. With all of their faith
they could not see beyond the grave.
kingdom with a dead Christ was, of
course an impossibility and their
trust in his promises had weakened.
And yet it is not to be wondered at,
for they were only human. Through
the unexpected friends, Joseph of Ar
imathea, man of wealth and influ-
ence, and Nicodemus, who came to the
Master by night. the body of our
Lord was given a decent burial. The
Jewish rulers, to prevent His fol-
lowers from practicing any decep-
ton on the people, had the tomb
sealed and Roman guard set about
it. The band of disciples had become
scattered. for, discouraged and dis
heartened. they felt that their cause
was hopeless.
The meek and 1owly Nazarene had
come, teaching many new truths to
the world. He had defied the religious
authorities of His time. He had upset
spiritual things. To race believing
in worldly, temporal kingdom. Jesus
proclaimed the establishment of a
spiritual kingdom. He had taught that
the long-sought Messiah would be re-
jected, crucified and would rise from
the dead. This doctrine had not been
accepted even by those in the inner
circle. When He was nailed to the
cross they thought all was lost. For
we read. I'VE hoped that it was He
who should redeem Israel" When,
upon the third day, the tomb was
found to be empty and the living
Christ appeared, they knew that His
teachings were true. We can easily

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.

sec their reasoning. If what Christ
taught concerning the resurrection
was true. it was easy to believe that
centuries the world has found 1t was
easy to accept the teaching Of the
One who rose from the dead in fulfill
ment Of His own prophecy.
The resurrection had a most pro-
found effect upon the twelve. From
group of discouraged followers who
thought the Christ was gone never to
return they became the leaders and
propagandists Of a victorious cause.
Jesus was no longer martyr. but the
head and founder Of a worldwide
Is today being preached and practiced
throughout the civilized world is proof
positive Of the resurrection, for with
out it the seed planted by the Master
throughout the centuries. For we
should remember that the triumphant
resurrection is better attested to than
any other fact in history. In addition
to the testimony Of the Book. we may
point to the very existence Of the
the Lords day and to the hope of inn
mortality which is a general convic-
tion. These things could not have
sprung up or continued except upon
the solid basis Of fact. And we should
also recall that all efforts to disprove
failures and that the theories put for
ward in lieu Of the fact are harder to
believe than the fact itself.
When Jesus rose from the grave He
settled for all time the question as
to Himself. There was good reason
for the inquiry. what manner Of
man is thts?" He was truly a unique
character and there was no measure
by which they could gauge this
prophet come out Of Nazareth. He
had healed the sick, given sight to
the blind, cast out demons and had
Lord broke the bonds of His tomb
and came forth the world felt that
it was the divine seal of the Father
upon His son. The twelve even had
not fully understood who the Christ
was; they could not fathom his per-
sonality. Now they were fully con-
vinced that He was more than man.
The resurrection also meant for the
disciples that their Lord never could
be taken away from them again. From
that time on He was always present
in spirit. Let US remember Mary and
her experience. She thought her Mas
ter was gone, she was full of grief,
sorrow and despair, yet all the time
He was just at her back, ready to
comfort and cheer her in her time of
need. The cross spoke Of dead God,
departed never to return. The empty
tomb was the testimony that the Son
of God was spirit, triumphant over
the material life and body, who had
made possible mans redemption
Such is the lesson for the twentieth
century. even as then. 1t Is the mes
sage from the trenches of Europe. AS
the soldier has come in close contact
with death in various forms he has
been reconciled by the growing con-
viction that going west" Is not the
end Of life. 1t is merely the body
that dies. The soul. as Christ demon
strated. is eternal. That truth is the
hope of the sorrowing, war-torn
world
