Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional By R. W. JENKINS, Pa.tor, Macedonia Baptist Church CHRIST IS RISEN In this Post Easter season let us linger on the memory of that marvelous event —the resurrec tion of Christ. The validity of the Christian religion either lives or dies on the truth of the state ment made in Matthew 28:6 “He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.” Christ’s resurrection vindicates all the claims that He made that He was God incarnate in human flesh. His claim of a miracle birth, of a sinless life, of an atoning death would have been groundless without the resurrec tion. The Apostle Paul states the same thing in I Cor. 15:12-20. “Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: and if Christ be not risen, then our preaching vain, and our faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ: whom He raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised, and if Christ be not raised, your faith in vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead and became the first fruits of them that slept.” Lew Wallace, author of the Christian Classic, Ben Hur, set out to destroy the historical validity of the Christian faith, and especialy the truth of the resurrection of Christ. His intent was to write a book that would completely discount the person of Christ. Before he had written more than a few chapters, he had to do a right about face. His honest research brought him face to face with the historical Christ. He could not deny him, so he be lieved Him. He became a great Christian and rewrote his book verifying that Christ was all He said He was. The fact of the resurrection changed a group of disheartened men—Jesus’ disciples—into radi ant men.

They had not only heard a,bout it, but they had seen the resurrected Christ. It was upon the rising tide of this message that the Christian Church was born, through which salvation and hope has been brought to millions. Not only did the truth of the resurrection carry the early dis ciples to marvelous heights of joy and service, but this same fact is imprinted in the lives of us who believe the fact that Christ is alive now thrills our hearts and to know that because he lives we shall also live strikes undaunted courage in our lives to be true to His ethics and cause in this world. The joy in the Christian life is the result of the knowledge of the resurrected Christ who lives and reigns for ever. This is the gr6at need for this “now” generation. Christ can meet our need NOW and give the peace that so many are searching for. United Pentecostal Church Jackson Club House Jackson, Georgia Rev. James L.

It is a store house of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regu larly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation, (-ft For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support Plan to go to church regu larly and read your Bible daily.

I do recall, that as I lifted things from her battered trunk, it seemed as though time had slipped backward. Suddenly, the lady in the faded family tintype became real to me. Nicely polished and laced, her tiny shoes re vealed that she was a petite person, neat and particular. A faded nosegay indicated a senti mental heart. “My dear son,” her letters began, and as I read her w r ords to that long-ago boy, my Dad, the reality of her love seemed present in the sun-drenched room. Outside the dusty window, a bee buzzed, and in_that quiet moment I became acquainted with her personality. Often, God reveals Himself to us in just such a way. By the beauty of His world, in the truths within His Bible, through the ministry of His Church, He discloses the fullness of His love. Attend your church. Through worship and prayer, enlarge your understanding of God. Wednesday Romans 8:18-25 Tuesday Matthew 11:25-30 WESTSIDE BAPTIST CHURCH Wiley B.
