Jesus said unto her, I am the
resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet
shall he live. (John 11:25)
At the battle of Inkerman a
soldier was just able to crawl to his tent after he was struck down. When
found, he was lying upon his face, his open Bible before him, his hand glued
fast to the page by his life-blood which covered it. When his hand was lifted,
the letters of the printed page were clearly traced upon it, and with the
ever-living promise in and on his hand, they laid him in a so1dier’s grave. The
words were:
“I am the resurrection and the
life; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”
I want a religion that can
comfort even in death, that can unite me with my loved ones. Oh, what gloom and
darkness would settle upon this world if it was not for the glorious doctrine of
the resurrection! Thank God, the glorious morning will soon break. For a little
while God asks us to be on the watch-tower, faithful to Him and waiting for the
summons. Soon our Lord will come to receive His own, whether they be living or
dead.
