March 81. Easter Sunday. John
IA. 1924.
We have for our lesson today the
glorious topic Of the resurrection of
Jesus from the dead. 1t is the great
event of the christian religion. Other
good men have lived and died, but
Jesus lived and preached and died, and
arose again. Easter is the one great
Z day which is commemorated by Prot.
estants, Roman Catholics, Greek Cath
olics, Armenians, and well it should
be, for the resurrection of Jesus is
I tho center pillar of every religion
based upon the bible. -.

Christ from the dead is positive as
Aurance to US that we too can have a
resurrection and spiritual life beyond
physical death.
The scripture lesson is that remark

has given blessed assurance to mill.
ions OF christians. which says that
Jesus has gone to heaven to prepare
again and receive US unto himself that
where He is there we will be also.
The opening verses of the chapter are
precious not only for what they con-

sumes that the people on earth will

OF which however is ridiculous when
contemplating the spiritual reign of
Jesus. Personally we do not indulge
! in speculations as to how things will
be In our resurrection time. We stand
firmly on the verses Of the fourteenth
chapter of John. that Jesus will pre-
pare place. that He will come and
take us and that we will be with Him.
That is sufficient. That being settled
is the duty OF christian people to
