APRIL 11 Resurrection Living
"L ike as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory o f the Father, even so we also should walk in newness o f life” (Rom. 6 :4 ). For resurrection living there is resurrec tion power And the praise and prayer of trusting may glorify each horn-. For common days are holy, and years an Eastertide To those who with the living Lord in living faith abide. Break through my bounds whate’er it cost; what is not Thine within me slay, Give me the lot I covet most, to rise as Thou hast risen today. I naught can do, a slave to death I pine: Work Thou in me, O Power and Life divine. —T ersteegen . APRIL 12 “As the Stars” "They that b e wise shall shine as the brightness o f the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever" (Dan. 12:3). Inspiration swept the very heavens and searched the universe of God to find the wonderful description of this divine appre ciation . . . The satisfaction of saving a soul may be sufficient reward, but there is an additional element which waits for the light of heaven and the unending years . . . As the stars shine by reflected light, so he who has shared in the redemptive work of Christ shall shine in the heavenly glory of Christ.—C ortland M yers . APRIL 13 Fellowship in Suffering "That I may know him ,. . . and the fel lowship o f his sufferings” (Phil. 3:10). There Is yet one jewel brighter than all the rest.. . . It is the tear-drop crystallized into the diamond, the blood-drop crystal lized into the ruby of heaven’s eternal crown. It is the joy of suffering with Jesus, and then forgetting all the sorrow in the overflowing joy, until with the heavenly Pascal we know not which to say first, and so we say them both together, "Tears upon tears, joy upon joy.’’—A. B. S impson . APRIL 14 Prayer and Human Poverty “L et us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens" (Lam. 3:41). The act of prayer teaches us our unwor thiness, which is a very salutary lesson for such proud beings as we are. If God gave us favors without constraining us to pray for them we should never know how poor we are, but a true prayer is an inventory of wants, a catalogue of necessities, a reve lation of hidden poverty. While it is an application to divine wealth, it is a confes sion of human emptiness. —C harles H addon S purgeon . APRIL 15 Divine Love . "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died fo r us” (Rom. 5 :8 ). Some years ago I was lecturing in
"And laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out o f a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door o f the sepulchre" (Mk. 15:46). Jesus’ burial was the climax of His death, as the death was the climax of His life. Joseph's tomb, carefully sealed with im perial Rome’s mark, tied the knot on the end of the thread of His death. There could now be no doubt that He had really died. His death touched the very bottom. He went to the very lowest, putting death to death fo r us, and making the new life as real as the death was. Because of the sting in His death, there need be none in ours.— Bent Knee Time. APRIL 8 The Empty Tomb "Come, see the ptace where the Lord lag" (Matt. 28:6). No other spot on earth says so much to Christian faith as does the tomb of our Lord. Observe, it is the place "where the Lord lay." He lies there no longer. With most tombs the interest consists in the fact that all that is mortal of the saint or hero rests beneath the sod on which we gaze. Of our Lord’s sepulchre the ruling interest is that He no longer tenants it. It is as the place from which He rose that the tomb of Jesus speaks to our faith, and speaks with such force as to gladden our hearts. —C anon L iddon . APRIL 9 He is Risen! "He is not here: for he is risen, as he said" (Matt. 28:6). There is a song of Easter that comes to you and me, To tell the wondrous story Of how the Lord of Glory Hath broken down the gates of death, and set the captives free. And faith accepts the token A body bruised and broken That bore the sins of all the world, alone on Calvary’s tree. —B. S kagen . Knowing therefore that I myself have risen from the dead in a spiritual sense, convinces me beyond a peradventure that my Lord has risen from the dead in a phy sical sense, "even as he said.” —J ames M. G ray . APRIL 10 Amidst the Shadows “A fter these things Jesus show ed himself again to the disciples" (John 21:1). Already the night was passing in the dawn of a new glad day, and the weary fishermen were gladdened by the appear ance of the Lord, the Risen Son of God, now, on the resurrection side of Calvary. . . . Happy shall we be if, amid the mists and shadows of the passing night, We are able to behold the Lord, and to know that He has come to usher in the new day of grace and glory. For still He comes, as to those early disciples in Galilee, and still He waits to be gracious to all who call upon Him in sincerity and truth.—G. H. L unn .
