If in this life only we have
hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. (1 Corinthians 15:19)
To deny the resurrection is to
say that we will never see more of the loved ones whose bodies have been
committed to the clay. If Christ has not risen, this life is the only one, and
we are as the brutes.
How cruel it is to have any one
love you if this be true! How horrible that they should let the tendrils of
your heart twine around them, if, when they are torn away in death, that is to
be the end! I would rather hate than love if I thought there would be no
resurrection, because then I would feel no pangs at losing the hated thing. Oh,
the cruelty of unbelief! It takes away our brightest hopes.
