Newspaper Page TextVOLUME 49-NUMBER 36 PASTOR'S PEN These are the words Jesus spoke to Martha to comfort her bereaved heart upon the death of her brother Lazarus. However, Martha was not consoled, be cause she was thinking of some far distant event. "I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day" (v. 24). She thought of her brother as lying dead in the tomb. There he would be for ages, no more to move about in the home, no more to be enjoyed by his sisters. Cer- tainly, Lazarus would be raised someday. Butthat hope offered little or no comfort for the present. How would his sisters face the dreary days which lay ahead? Martha felt exactly the way many people feel today when they lose their children, husband, wife or brothers and sisters. But Jesus showed Martha how utterly mistaken she was. Resurrection and life are not future at all for God's children. They are present realities and will ever remain present. Any person who comes to know Christ Jesus is immediately re surrected from the grave of spiritual death and receive eternal life. He is thus the recipient of resurrection and life. He is alive, and when he dies his trus life co ntinues uninjured and uninterruped. This is true because Jesus is, right now and forevermore, the Resurrection and the life. And all who are united to Him sh are His endless life forevermore. To prove, concretely, the glorious tr uth, Jesus called forth Lazarus, who had been dead four days, from the grave. "Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth" (V. 43-44). Lazarus ; was living right on, though he had died. Hallelujah! How do resurrection and life become ours? The answer is, by being united to Him who is the resurrection arid the Life. Christ is the Resurrection and the Life. Youmustbe joined to Him in order to share His endless life. This union with Christ comes when you repent of your sins, trust Him and are born of the Holy Spirit. "Whoever continues to be lieves in me will live on, even though he dies" (v. 25, Williams). Do you poss ess resurrection and life? Rev. Ernest Purcell, Pastor First Baptist Church Nahunta, Georgia PECAN VOTE BEATEN Thomas T.
