Resurrection

Waldo Pondray Warren

The resurrection of Jesus is the object lesson of the ages. It speaks of the triumph of Truth, the victory of virtue, the worth of wisdom, the utility of understanding, the majesty of manhood, the might of Mind, the labor of Love, the crown of Christianity, the loftiness of Life, the sovereignty of Science, the sureness of salvation, the sublimity of Soul, the anthems of angels, the reign of right, the oneness of Omnipotence, the glory of Good, the supremacy of Spirit, the bliss of Being, and the day of Deity. It points with the finger of prophecy to the time when mankind shall outgrow the grave, and prove the promise of Jesus, "He that believeth in me shall never die." It points to the possibility of fulfilling Jesus' demand to raise the dead.

The stone rolled away from the tomb of Jesus is a stone rolled away from sepulchres in the hearts of humanity—sepulchres where hope lay buried, yea, where health, and happiness and peace, and manhood and God-likeness, were buried from the sight of mankind; and his resurrection signifies the resurrection of these virtues in the lives of humanity.

Oh, Christian, has this resurrection come in your consciousness? Has Christ, Truth, rolled away the stone from your heart? Is all your buried hope and latent manhood coming forth from the depths of your heart, and manifesting its presence in your life among men? Then are you remembering Calvary no more, but rejoicing in the everlasting victory of Truth and Love.
