I Would Say This
BY DR. L. S. WILLIAMS
Easter has come and gone. 1
find myself wondering how it
left a lot of people feeling. Is
there a let-down? Do you feel
lifted in your
moral and
spiritual life?
Today we
have emphases
in the Easter
season that
were not in
tended to be a
part of this
holy season.
The com
mercial
emphasis is perhaps the most
harmful instrusion. Just before
Easter, a mother told me this
story.
Her four year old daughter,
through associating with other
children, learned that a lot of
people buy and wear new
clotlies at this time of the year.
The child asked her mother
this simple question: “Why do
people buy new clothes at
Easter?” The mother hedged a
little in giving a clear answer
| The child repeated the ques
tion several times. After all.
there is no short, simple reply.
In our home we provided
new Easter clothes for our
daughters. This meant a lot to
them. As parents, we did not
magnify this side of the season.
It has been many years since 1
wore any new apparel at this
time of the year. If 1 had a new
suit or even a new shirt, after
Easter was the time to use
them.
faster commemorates the
resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the grave. On the third
day after he had died on the
cross, His body was alive and
he was again with his family
and friends. This event proved
that Cod’s Son had power over
the grave and over death, this
was really sensational news.
Never before had sinful men
found a friend who possessed
and used such infinite power.
Io Christians today this
subject of the resurrection is

mainly thought of as a
doctrine. It is labeled often as a
belief. People ask one another,
“Do you believe in the resur
rection?” To the New Test
ament writers and to the think
ing people of Jesus' day, this
had another note. These people
were thinking of dead bodies
rising and standing up again.
They were talking about
corpses. They were thinking
definitely of dead bodies and
Jesus’ own body was the prin
ciple one.
After the holiday spirit of
Easter has vanished, we ought
to find ourselves stronger in
our faith in the risen, living
Saviour. This should bring a
finer spirit of loyal, devoted
personal service to Him who
was raised from the dead.
