Resurrection gives us hope beyond HERBERT A. McLEOD The 1985 Easter weekend is now history. We have been reminded again of the Love that drew Salvation's Plan: of. the Grace. that brought it down to man; and of the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary. We have thought anew of the price of our redemption. We have not been bought with silver or gold, but with the Precious Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. No wonder the song writer has written, "I long to be worthy of Calvary Love". We have also thought about `the Resurrection of our Lord, its proofs, and its personal meaning to us. Without that fact of MINISTER'S STUDY It history, we have no hope beyond the grave. But because He lives, the grave isnot the goal, neither does death have the last word. When He lives within us, then, even though we die, physically, we shall live eternally with Him. It is most refreshing to see that which has seemed to be so cold and dead in nature, spring forth into New Life all around us. • How much more wonderful it is to be able to identify with Paul's letter to the Ephesians where he said, "And you hath He quickened (brought to life) who were dead in your trespasses and sins." New life in Nature is beautiful, but new life in Christ is even more beautiful. Let us not allow these great facts of history to fade back into the mothballs of our mind for another year. But rather, let us lay hold on their meaningful provisions for our lives, and apply them to everyday living. Then when this life is over, we shall enjoy the blessed reality of eternity with the Lord and all the saints of the centuries.
