Every Day Is Easter I t was said of the early Christians that they believed every day to be Easter. What better explanation could be given for their zeal and sac rifice? Surely their conviction that Jesus was alive is what above all things believers need today. It changed the world for them, and consequently they “ tinned the world upside down” for Him. First, the resurrection set their hearts to singing. The gloom which had enveloped them when their blessed Lord was led to the cross of Calvary was dispelled when they knew He had risen from the dead. His jo y became their strength. Nothing could discourage them. Then, the resurrection set their feet to flying. It gave them courage to go everywhere with the Gospel. What were raging lions in arenas, raging storms on the seas or raging politicians in cities to men who pos sessed faith that their Lord was living? The worst that men could do to them would only bring them into the presence of Him whom they adored. Nothing could deter them. Finally, the resurrection set their lips to preaching. The Word spoken in the power of the Holy Spirit was irresistible. The king trembled on his throne and the peasant fell upon his knees, alike crying: “What must I do to be saved?” Conviction of sin and genuine conversion followed and the church grew by hundreds and thousands “ in spite of dungeon, fire and sword.” Nothing could defeat them. Well, here we are, nearly 2,000 years later along the stream of time since the resurrection. We too know, by “many infallible proofs” and because He lives in our hearts, that He is alive. Why should we not claim the same joy, the same courage, the same power? We may also have Easter every day until Christ comes again. ★ coming : our most important issue For more than a year now your editors have been making plans to produce one issue o f K ing ’ s B usiness that will be com pletely different in content. Lord willing, this special issue will be this coming August. We’re telling you.about it now in order that you may join us in prayer to the end that this venture will be mightily used by God. In the past we’ve put out special issues on conferences, edu cation, businessmen and Christian films. These all filled a purpose and we plan to continue such special issues from time to time. But what we are now working on for next August is entirely different from any previous issue. In fact as far as we know no Christian publication has ever attempted to do what we’re planning for August K ing ’ s B usiness . We’ll be bringing you more details in the next few issues. In the meantime won’t you earnestly, definitely pray that our Saviour will richly bless this special August issue to His glory? Thank you. — L. H. j APRIL, 1955 ★ ★
