I Corinthians J.S. He had pre- viously stressed to members of the communicants' class the importance of attending all church services, Good Friday service, the Holy communion • service at Easter when they would be received into the church, and to pay special at- tention to the series of Lenten services, Mr._ Sweeney presented sev- eral basic statements concern- . ing the Christian 'faith. • When Jesus died it was the death of the most glorious per-, son mankind ever knew. "Be- • cause I die you can die without fear." Here was seen the nec- essary death of Christ. He knew no sin but died for sinners. No other was good enough to pay the price. Mr. Sweeney said, "We must seek things above -- rise above worldly standards and be true • followers of God." Jesus was seen after death by many, including Peter, James, five hundred; and Paul on the Damascus Road who saw Hinz as the resurrection and the life be- yond. We cherish the cross and are reminded in every communion service that Jesus' blood was shed for us. He was raised on the third day because the disciples had need of Jesus. His mission of death on the cross had been ac- complished as prophesied in Scripture. He arose to give impetus to those who would build their homes on the rock.
