CHRIST IS RISEN
How can we know that Jesus
lives, that Christ is risen? Ve
have the testimony of the empty
tomb, and of many witnemqes, and
of His Word, and the Spirit within
our hearts. We thank God, too, for
the many believers who live on
such a high plane of faith that the
glory of the risen and living Sav-
ior is reflected in their lives.
However, ever since the day the
Pharisees paid money to the Ro-
man soldiers to tell the lie, "that
Hi, disciples, came and stole His
body," atheists, agnostics, unbe-
lievers and modernists have moved
heaven and earth to disprove the
miracle of the resurrection. They
have sought to discredit this most
arresting fact of human history,
that the empty tomb of Christ is
the conwncing power of His resur-
rection,
THE TESTIMONY OF THE
SCRIPTURES
If Christ is not risen, the Word
)f God is a lie. For in the Prop-
hets. in the Parables. and in the
direct statements of the Lord Je-
sus Christ Himself, His resurrec-
tion is mentioned more than 100
times. Both the Old Testament and
the New Testament give some
wonderful testimonies to this great]
truth.
Listen to what Jesus said about
the resurrection. After He had
driven the money changers from
the temple, the Jews had said to
Him, "What sign showest thou
unto us, for doing this? Jesus an-
swered them. Destroy this temple,
and in three days I will raise it
up .... VChcn therefore he was
raised from the dead. his disciples
remembered that he had said this;
and they believed the scripture and
the Word which Jesus had spok-
en." gohn 2:18-22).
In John 10, Jesus spoke these
words that also prophecy of His
resurrection, "I lay down my life,
that I may take it again." And
when the scribes and pharisees be-
gan to question His authority, ask-
ing t]im to prove that He was the
Son of God, He said, "An evil and
adulterous generation seeks after
a sign; and there shall be no sign
be given it, but the sign of the
prophet Jonah, for as Jonah was 3
days and 3 nights in the belly of
the whale; so shall the Son of man
be 3 days and 3 nights in the
heart of the earth." (Matthew
12439-40).
As we look to the Scriptures,
Christ's appearances to His dis-
ciples are further proof of His
resurrection.
It was indeed a living Christ
who inspired the saints ef the ear-
ly Church. It was a living Christ
who led them out into all the
world to preach the Gospel. It was
a living Christ who fired the Chris-
tians with zeal on the Dty of Pen-
tecost. It was a living Christ who
inspired Paul to reach the world
with the Gospel. And it has been
a living Christ that has bcen real
to true believers ever since and
who fulfills His promis¢,, "And lo,
I am with you even unto the end
of the world." (Matt. 28:20).
FAITH AND SALVATION REST
ON THE RESURRECTION
If there was no remrrection, our
faith is in vain. Our hope of sal-
vation is also vain. If H, did not
rise, He did not atone for sin;
and not a single stain of sin in all
the world has been washed away.
There. are m a n y wonderful
truths which are precious to be-
lieving Christians to which the
Holy Scriptures testify, that can
be denied without a guilty con-
science if we can deny the glor-
ious fact of the Risen Christ. But
to a world which is searching for
certainties other th
armed might will cO
time again the sl)iri
of a living Savior
able h) heal and h
Easter will again P"
pel of hope beyond
material.
The message of the
who died for our
rese agaizt for out
will be the dee, p sig

pass away, yet He I.
