Because the tomb is EMPTY! What needless sorrows follow in the wake of un belief 1 Those tear-dimmed eyes did not see the evidence of the Lord's re surrection. And when the angels asked: "Why weepest thou?" She said: "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him."

They are talking together ahnut all that has happened dur ing thr last fow days and "as they eomrruned together and reason ed, Jesus Himself drew near and went with them, but their eyes were holden that they should not know Him. And He said unto them: What manner of communi cations are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?" (Luke 24:15-17). The word "walk" here does not mean to walk on but to walk a- have now passed since His death. We smile at the irony of unbelief. But what about ourselves? The risen, glorified Christ exercises far greater power and offers far greater blessings to believers now than His followers of old knew anything about. It was Paul's constant nraver bout to wander aimlessly. They were on their way to Emmaus, but they were so broken-hearted that they did not car whether or not for the believers of his day, and they got there. And it is inter- it is God's desire for us that we esting that the clause "and are ' may know "what is the exceeding sad," is translated in the Revised greatness of His nower to nsward Lesson Text: 16:8. Mark 15:42 through Version: "And looking sad." they stood still, What had caused them to give up hope? Listen to their own words: "We had trusted that it had been He which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, today is THE THIRD DAY since these things were done (Luke 24:21). They had given up hope because this was THE THIRD DAY since the Lord's crucifixion, yet this was the very day He was to rise from the dead, according to His own, oft-repeated promise. Mary weeps because the tomb is empty! The two disciples are broken-hearted becasue three days who believe. . .His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in heavenly places, far about all. . " (Eph. 1:19-21). How often we, who call our selves Christians, are bowed down with doubt and grief, when we should be enjoying "the power of His resurrection!" We believe that Christ paid for our sins at Calvary and rose again to prove that our sins were paid for. We have trusted Him for everlasting life. Can we trust Him for to day's problems? feit!

Compare this to the $3,879 per mile received by our state's private power com panies. As our cooperatives add consumers, and reve nue per mile Increases, each member bears a smaller part of his system's costs. That's why it's important that cooperatives be allowed to serve new loads and enjoy the benefits of their investments within their territories. If they are allowed to do this, it will mean that more and more rural people will come to know the conveniences that city people have had for years. ectrlc Membership Association, mc: The purpose of our study today is to consider the Resurrection and to learn what it says to us. An understanding of Jesus must include his whole experience. The life, death, and Resurrection must be viewed together. The story of Jesus reaches the consummation m the account of the Resurrection. In a sense this event justified all that had gone before it in his life. We must al ways remember that Jesus, who was resurrected, was the Man who had walked the roads of Palestine, who had shared life with his dis ciples, who had healed, taught, and eaten with the people. The rest of Jesus' life would be incomplete without the Resurrection, at least as far as his meaning for Christ ian faith is concerned. This Jesus, who had been called the "Christ," now showed his victory over death. The crucified One had been rais ed. Yet we must keep insisting that it was Jesus who was resurrected. This insistence is necessary if we are to understand how the Resur rection crowns his earthly mani festation of God's care but with out allowing this even to make the rest of his life seem unimportant. The earlier events are important as a preparation for the Resur rection, but they are also impor tant in themselves. AUCTION Sat., April 20, 1963 At 10:30 A. M.

In one sense the Resurrection is of the present, in another sense the Resurrection is the future. The Resurrection is of the pre sent in the sense that when a per son accepts Jesus Lord he enters new life. The Gospel of John, we must remember, speaks of "eternal life" as a quality of life which man can experience now, in the present: The Resurrection, indeed, is of the present in the sense that right now, at this moment, we can be born anew and live in the awareness that God has overcome death and has given us newness of life in every way. And what we experience in part now will be completed later. In this sense the Resurrection is future. We do know newness of life now, but we shall know it in even great er fullness when physical death is actually passed through and we dwell in the presence of God in a more intimate way. In last week's lesson we spoke of the identification of the believ er with the death of Christ. We must be crucified to the old man. to our old self-love. But beyond a Easter Sunrise At Freeman Gap Church Sunday Morning of Friday Now let us look at the Resur rection. The question m often ask ed .Exactly what happened? Was it a physical event? Or was it a spiritual Resurrection ? In a fund amental sense the mode of the Resurrection cannot be stated. The early church was aware of this difficulty. The New Testament describes Jesus' Resurrection in two ways. This Jesus who was resurrected, recognized, and talk ed with was the pre-Crucifixion Jesus. And yet he wasn't "physi cal" in the ordinary sense. H e could appear and disappear; he could walk into locked rooms; and he even remained unknown some times, as on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:16). Paul described the condition of Resurrection as a spiritual body." The two words, sDirit and body, indicate con tradictory categories. But then the Resurrection does not fit into ordinary categories. One can therefore appreciate the dilemma of the disciples. The Resurrection is beyond the dimensions of our usual areas of knowledge. Yet the One who was crucified has been raised. Sin and death have defeated. Jesus is alive. God has triumphed 1 What exactly does the Resur- the Good Easter. identified with the life of Christ. For the one who lives within the life of Christ, physical death is no longer frightening. Death has been overcome by God, and now we live in him. This is the Easter message: God reigns even over death and 'he yon d death, and in his is the full ness of life. The Rev. John W.
