THREE CROSSES
By MARY CAYTON
Three crosses high on a barren MU,
Three crosses side by side;
On either side they nailed a thief,
On the center our Saviour died.
The lives of three men were taken away,
There flowed the blood of three men,
But only the blood from the center cross
Could save our souls from sin.
He asked for no mercy there that day,
And no mercy to Him was given;
Forsaken by both God and man,
Suspended between earth and heaven.
I am the Good Shepherd He said one day,
I lay down My life for the sheep;
There on that cross He paid for my sin,
My soul forever to keep.
When He cried out so loud and clear,
“It is finished” is what He said,
And it came to pass the seed of the woman
Had bruised the serpent’s head.
He conquered death and the grave,
He arose to die no more;
He’s gone to prepare a place for us
When we gather on Heaven's shore.

VICTORY OVER SIN AND DEATH
International Sunday School Lesson for March 29
Memory Selection; “Now is Christ risen from
the dead, and become the firstfruits of them
that slept.”—l Corinthians 15:20.
Lesson Text: Matthew 28.
As we study this lesson today, we are forcibly
struck by the fact that in the resurrection of
Christ, God overcame both sin and death. With
in the Holy Trinity, truth and right became in
violate.
The Resurrection of Christ, after death, holds
out to the world a reassurance that out of evil
comes great good. It rises triumphantly from
the ashes of man’s erratic and sometimes be
wildering cruelty to his fellow men. And as
the story is recounted year after year during
the Easter period, it loses none of its impact
It is the dawn of a sense of renewal within the
breasts of Christians everywhere.
Jesus had long been preparing His twelve
closest companions for His death; He had de
voted much time to instructing them in regard
to their continuance of His ministry, the con
version of sinners. The reappearance of Christ
to those closest to Him, during the interim be
tween His death and His ascension was a con
tinuing facet of this preparation.
Christ invariably urged those to whom He
appeared to “be not afraid.” Fear was not one
of His goals—not the kind of fear that is the
common connotation of the word. Awe, how
ever, He did not frown upon. For when one is
awed, one is impressed. And how much more
impressive can anything be that this M3n loved
us so much He laid down His life for us?
Had He not done so, had the cruel nails of
the cross ended, once for all the life of One
dedicated to the service of mankind, then we
would, indeed, be in a sorry state—hopeless and
lost! But such was not the case. Christ was
crucified, yet He lived! And so the UfßPct of
sinners is saved!
During the forty days that Jesus remained on
earth, before His ascension, He appeared to
many of His beloved followers. This was a
period of transition—and here we must make
note of the fact that whereas, during His life
time on earth, He worked among His little band
ot close companions; after His crucifixion He—as
He had promised—worked within them.
If the Easter season means anything to us at
all, it must make its point with us, right here.
Our belief in the risen Christ means not only
serving Him, but proclaiming Him to others. He
must live within us, accompanying us on our
often perplexing journey through a world that
is both complex and confusing. He should ever
be present in our hearts, our minds, our deeds.
As with all the other truly great gifts of God,
there is a sense of obligation which accom
panies them. The Christian doctrines must be
aggressively proclaimed by a band of people
united in their innermost beliefs those of us
who make up the Christian world. We cannot
