A Few Words
To The Wise . . .

terial Association)
Resurrection
St. John 11:25:
“Jesus said unto her, I am the
resurrection and the life: He that
believeth in me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live.”
Jesus, when answering Martha
concerning her brother, gave not
only Martha hope and encourage
ment, for this same answer
comes down to us today.
A careful study of Paul will
disclose to us that he, too, re
joiced at the hope of resurrec
tion. The thought of resurrection
has been a mystery through the
ages and is still a mystery today
for the unbeliever, but for the
believer who has come in contact
with God through Jesus Christ
and has been redeemed, it
springs up as a living hope. It
is no great mystery why Paul
told the believers to give a rea
son for the hope that lieth with
in, for he himself stood before
King Agrippa and testified of
this hope.
To the infidel whose belief is
drawn iroin me thougms ui con
iuacu iiicii auu wuuoc xuuiiua'
I tion is built upon the dust—to
him the hope of resurrection is a
vain thought with no foundation.
But Jesus, the Son of God, spoke
with authority. He proved to the
world that he was the Son of God
and as He had said He arose on
the third day and became the
first fruits of the rsurrction.
Acts 26:23:
That Christ should suffer, and
that he should be the first that
; should rise from the dead, and
! should shew light unto the peo
ple, and to the Gentiles. These
are Paul’s words as he was testi
j fying before King Agrippa. As
1 the king listened to this man of
God, he was moved and said with
a loud voice, ‘ Paul, thou are be
side thyself. Much learning doth
make thee mad.”
I Many will answer foolishly
; today as did the King, but stop
! and give careful study to the
scriptures and you will find life,
joy and happiness. The hope of
resurrection will reveal itself to
you as you walk and talk with
God.
