In 1966 the annual distribution fig ure is expected to reach 75 million copies of Scripture. By DONALD THOMAS Immanuel Baptist Church WHAT DAY WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED? I would say my Lord was crucified on a Thursday. I know you will say I’m a nut. Remember, Jesus said there were 12 hours in a day. From six in the mom- to six at night is 12 hours. Jesus was put on the cross at the third hour or 9 o’clock in the morning and died at 3 o’clock in the af ternoon or the ninth hour. He was in the sepulchre, Thursday, Friday and Satur day. That would make it three days and three nights. Remember, Jesus told the priests and Pharisees that after three , dpys that He would rise again. If it were Friday, that would make it only two days and Jesus said three days. The Jews’ Sabbath is on Saturday and the Gentiles is on Sunday (or the first day of the Week): Jesus was already risen when Mary Magdalene came to the cave- Now I don’t want to mislead any body, but I can’t see how you get three days if it was Friday. This is what 'Jesus said and He doesn’t lie: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” In St, Luke 24 Jesus says: “Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer and rise from the dead the third day.”—St Luke 24:46. let's 90 toChurcKSundai) Sunday School Lesson THE VICTORY OF THE CHURCH International Sunday School Lesson for April 10 Memory Selection: “And the seventh angel sounded;* , and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The king doms of this world are be come the kingdoms of our , Lord, and of his Christ; and ;he shall .reign for ever and , ever.”—Revelation 11:15. * .

The' i way was to be fraught with j peril. But we were not tp \ lose heart. We were to continue to strive after what is good, and that which is evil will be as surely de feated for us, individually, as it was defeated for us,' collectively, on that hillside outside the city gates so long ago. We accept- ■ Ihe fact, as Christians, that Jesus’,-death was not the end of life, but. the beginning. The Cross, always a symbol of tragedy, is—yei—always a symbol, of triumph, for by the im measurable sacrifice that was made on it, are we saved. The lesson we are study ing today is. indeed, a paean of victory. Victory over death—the final enemy; vic tory over sin. Adam became mortal be cause of his sinning, and we inherited all his vulnerabil ity. But. through the death of Christ en the Cross, our sins are forgiven; because of His Resurrection, we be come immortal, and become capable of attaining our place in His Kingdom. God laid the foundation with care, according to His holy ordinance. As Christians, we cannot claim that victory is com plete unless we serve Christ faithfully to the end —indi- vidually and collectively— in our private lives and in our church. The way may be difficult, because we are but human, but the rewards for our striving are great. For, just as Christ’s death j reconciles us to God, so His I Resurrection assures us of life after death and ulti mate reunion with God in heaven.
