He and the prophets and apostles of ancient, meridian, and modern times declare without equivocation that all men will be raised from the dead. That even as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in a newness of life. Next to the thought of God, Ind of man's relationship to him, there is no thought which is more sobering, more inspiring, than the thought of immortality. To believe' that one is an Immortal soul with freedom to choose his course and carve his destiny, that throughout the eternities one must live with himself; to realize that one is a moral agent, the architect of a deathless soul, with limitless possibilities in two directions; this is a concept, a conviction, which at once inspires. hope and steadies resolution. It sustains us is the hour, of death and gives us courage to carry on. Part II And so when we stand at the bier of our loved ones, or when we know our own time has come, we have an assurance which enables us to approach the change with unfaltering trust. The gloom which otherwise might follow the twilight of death is dispelled by the hope of the dawn which dwells beyond the sunset We come to visualize life in terms of eternity rather than of mortality.,Though we mourn the departure of those whom we love it is not a hopeless grief to. those who accept, the divine assurance of the Master: am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me shall never die." With renewed conviction we issue the apostle's challenge: "0 grave where Is thy victory, 0 death where is thy sting." Humbly we bow and worship him who broke the bands of death, even Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. , - op -- 'I -P - - sp In |
