Church Prepciring For Zone Meet April 15
Our Death -Conquering
Lora-
(EASTER MESSAGE)
By Rev. C. Herman Trneblood
Text: "He is not here, for he is
risen, as he said." Matt. 28:6
"If Christ be not risen" if He
did not conquer death and the
grave, "as he said," then the whole
foundation of Christl'rnity is no
more than the shifting sand of
wishful thinking. If there was no
resurrection of Christ "Our Christ
ian Faith" is a horrible opiate, a
monstrous delusion, a gigantic
hoax, a colossal myth.
If Jesus did not rise from the
dead the sweetest hymns are but
fsbles, the most heart-stirring gos
ple Is but a Fairy tale, the most
fervent prayer Is but the echo of
foolish prattle.
"If Christ be not risen our
preaching is vain our faith is
vain we are false witnesses
we are yet in our sins and our
departed loved ones are perished."
(1. Cor. 15:14-10.)
"But now is Christ risen from
the dead, end become the first
fruits of them that slept." (1. Cor.
1520.) The resurrection of Christ
is the most stupendous fact of
history, and no other face of his
tory i more firmly established.
"The fool bath said in his heart,
there is no God." (Ps. 14:1.); and
God-denying skeptics ana agnos
tics have made their most terri
fic assaults upon the doctrine of
the ressurrectidn of Christ; never
theless, the literal bodily resurrec
tion of Jesus remains the cornor
stone of Christian faith ,and is also
the Gibralter of Christian evi
dence, as well as the Waterloo of
Infidelity and rationalism..
It we accept as m postulate the
fact of God - If we believe in an
omnipotent, omnipresent .omni
scient God, "Why should it be
thought incredible with you that
God should raise the dead?" (Act
26.8.) - If, "With God All Things
Are Possible" (Mark 10:27), as
Christians are supposed to believe.
then it should not be difficult to
accept the fact of ms aupernaturaj
powerand bis miraculous works as
manifestation of an All-Wise, Lov
ing, Heavenly Father. Certainly it
would be a very small God that
couM be bound by natural law, or
limits within the compass of hu
man comprehension. ' "Have Faith
In God."1, (Mark 1122) fa the secret
