JENKINS A Co., WUUamMoii, N.C, Christ's Resurrection TWr Prtav Fki of Christianity . ? ? (A radio broadcast over KGK I Honolulu, April 12, 1941 ) The most important, outstanding J fact of Christianity is the resurrec tact 01 ' ? Uon of Christ But for the shedding ( ion 01 v.tni9i .v,. ? . of His precious blood there could j have been no remission of sins. But j had He. after His death, remained I in the grave. His claim to divinity i and Sonship would have failed. Fol lowing His ressurection the belief and attitude of His followers chang ed entirely. From a feeling of failure discouragement and dejection they were lifted to victory, exultation, joy and sacrifice They fell before Him in worship, exclaiming. My Lord and my God." One of the striking phases- of the resurrection is the fact that even His disciples had to be convinced. (This was doubtless in the plan of God. for when one comes to the real ization of a fact after honest doubt and upon one's own investigation, one is convinced in a way that re mains. After the Savior had shown Himself alive by many proofs," as the scriptures say. there was never any more doubt. The resurrection became the theme of their preach ing. and they spoke with such power regarding this and His crucifixion that their enemies could not with stand them. These were unable to refute the facts presented. Even their enemies were convinced of the resurrection, but they allowed Sa tan to harden their hearts Instead of repenting and turning to a risen Christ and receiving forgiveness of sin. they railed upon the disciples and sought to destroy them. His fol lowers are still being persecuted in certain lands; and. alas, here in this enlightened city we find heathen temples 'where peoples, in their ig norance or hardness of heart, wor ship the linages or spirits of dead men rather than the risen Lord, the Son of God. who gave them their be ing and from whom they receive life. We would call upon our friends who do Shintoworship to cease their offense against God by the worship of man or the spirits of man. and we would beg our Buddhist friends to turn from a dead religion, as many are doing in India. China and Korea, to the worship of the living God. The followers of Christ, and He alone, is the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father, God. ex cept through Him As you look upon that illuminated cross upon the mountain tonight, the beauty of which is not in its silver light but in what it means, recall. I beg you. the great sacrifice that was made for I you by Christ the Son and God the ' Father, and remember that He rose from the dead, giving such infallible proof such as cannot be refuted. Here man stands or falls before God. There is no middle ground. To say that all religions are the samcris not ] true Six years ago I Stood on the Mount of Olives outside Jerusalem, where on that memorable night almost two thousand years ago. the Lord pray ed, sweat drops of blood, was betray ed by a kiss, was taken to be false ly accused, and was later crucified. I We walked on that mountain side' in such moonlight as will flood the earth tonight. There were groups of Christians of many nationalities all over the mountain side singing, praising Jaudjind praying. Two ei der ly men from Scotland who join ed our group exclaimed; "We have wanted ever since we were Ixiys to visit this sacred s|x>t. Our dreams now have been realized." As we all bowed there in prayer the momen tous events that transpired there so ; many years before came to mind with | vividness. Then as we attended la ter an early-morning Easter service at the Garden tomb, where, we be lieve. the body of the Ixird lay and from which He arose., again our hearts burned within us. we rejoiced, and were impressed with the real ity of all these things. Luke, the beloved physician, tells us that he traced all things accurate ly from the beginning. Thus we have in the gaspels and in the Acts of the Apostles an accurate record of what took place. It is upon the testimony of such men, the witness of the Holy Spirit and the indwelling of a risen Christ that we know He is risen and ever liveth to make intercession for lis. Although the disciples "had to be shown," when once shown, this was enough. I recall how a professor in the college which I attended overcame a period of doubt as to the reality of God, the cross and the resurrec tion. However, he wisely accepted Christ's challenge, as given in John 7.17: "If any man willeth to do His will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God. or whether I speak from myself." He turned away from all known sin and sought to do the will of God. at the same time askiftg God to open his mind and show him the truth. This God did. He accepted Christ as Lord and (has lived a resurrected life. When | this man, head of the Department of |I?aw in the college, stepped onto the rostrum of the college chapel stu I dents lifted their heads and listened, for he spoke of Christ and salvation as one who knows. Man's teachings and theories change, but God's Word, which is eternal, never. The Bible remains, a* God. "the same yesterday, today and forever." So we find the great fact of Christianity, the resurrection of Christ, as primal and supreme in history and the very rock and stay upon which all may stand, supreme and eternal evidence that Christ is the Son of God, the One Who was in the beginning, the very creator of heaven and earth, the moon, the | stars, the universe, the one from whom we have liaht and life.

Sunday School, too If there are any who doubt the fact of the resurrection, it is not for lack of evidence. As the gospel has spread to the ends of the earth and men and women in every land be lieve m Christ and His resurrection, will not you. listener, accept Him as Lord and Master? It is not enough to simply?believe?m?the?historical fact of His death and resurrection: we must make it a part of ourselves and come out on His side. "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Ix^rd, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised Him from the dead." saith the Wind of God, "thou shalt hi- saved; for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confess iah is made unto salvation."
