Thus begins the most amazing account of human
experience ever written. And so simply, with just
a notation of time: the hour, the Hay, the very
moment1.
But like a church hell sounding its call to wor
ship, that simple notation of time has. become the
clarion of a New Life.
So deeply has it penetrated our preoccupation
with the routine of every-day existence that millions
gather at sunrise to greet the dawn of each Easter
Day.
What has given such meaning to one moment in
time?
Its PROMISE: Christ is risen. The One Who said,
because I live, ye shall live also He lives'.
. This tremendous moment, for all who worship
Him in faith, became the first entry in the Diary
of our Destiny.

THE NATURE OF OUR RESURRECTION
International Sunday School Lesson for April 11, 1971
MEMORY SELECTION: "I am the resurrection and the life;
he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and
whoever lives and believes in me shall never die". - (John
11:25-26)
LESSON TEXT: I Corinthians 15.
Our lesson last week dealt with man's rejection. This
week it deals with the victory of life over death;
Death is the inevitable end of mortal life as we know it.
Despite the fact that we have been taught that there is a life
beyond death and, in our Christian beliefs, have been
exhorted to live out our days on earth in continuing endeavor
to make ourselves worthy of entering the Kingdom, we are
naturally afraid. For even in these days when the frontiers of
space have been explored and man's knowledge of the
universe is steadily increasing, there are so many things we
do not know, and fear of the unknown is one of the basic
human instincts.
Paul recognized this failing in mankind, and, throughout
his teachings, sought to allay these fears. A man of strong
faith, himself, he always sought to pass that strength on to his
listeners. And, like Christ, he dealth with the familiar in
making comparisons.
In reading the verses before us. today, we find Paul (in
verse 39, 1 Corinthians 15) pointing' to the fact that fish have
one kind of flesh, birds another, fish still another, and man
uniquely in possession of still another. Each one has been
allotted flesh uniquely adopted to the environment in which it
is destined to have its being. And Paul goes on to point out
that though our earthly flesh shall perish, still will our souls
be re-garbed in a body that will be adaptable and in keeping
with the life we will live when we come to the Kingdom. That '
which was corruptible in the earthly flesh will be in
corruptble in our resurrected bodies. Our earthly bodies may
decay, our resurrected bodies, never! Resurrection will
glorify the body in its new, undying state!
To Paul death was but a form of exchange - the exchange
of that which is perishable for that which is everlasting. For
Paul saw in Christ's resurrection, not a lone incident, but a
continuing process made manifest in the lives of true
believers - those who unreservedly committed themselves to
Christ, and who steadfastly identified themselves with Him.
When the time of Christ's crucifixion arrived the victory,
for a short while, appeared to belong to His enemies . . . but
not for long. For in a matter of days Christ was resurrected,
and generations to come were assured of forgiveness of their
sins and a unique place in God's plans for mankind!
Such an act of faith on God's part - on the part of the Son
of God, Jesus Christ - surely must challenge us to faith, deep
and unshaken, in return! In the eyes of the believing
Christian, death must surely be regarded as a transitory
thing . . . the stepping-stone to fuller and more abundant life.
For we are resurrected in Christ! t
