PUBLISHED WEEKLY. "TINNSB"R",S . WEDNESDAY, MARCA 3o, a.o4 TH RESURRECTION OF CHRIST. Imp:rt3at Far. Eisily Susceptible of HIstoricil Proof. The resurrection of Christ has been the battle ground of Chris tianity. Here the church has marshaled her forces, and here her enemies in the pass have made their most deadly assaults. The apostle Paul recognized the vital character of the resurrection of his Lord. "If Christ be not raised," said he; "then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also viin." Christ himself staked his divinity on his resur rection from the dead on the third day. When he was asked his authority for driving the cattle from the temple and over throwing the tables of the money changers, he replied, "Destroy this temple, and in three days 1 will raise it up," meaning "the temple of his kbdy." His resur rection would show him to be dine, and consequently pos asessed of authority to manage God's house. Since the resurrection of Christ is a matter of such im portance,: it certainly deserves careful attention. The average Christian will need no further proof than the statement of the Word of God. However, even should the inspiration of the Bible be called in question, the resurrection of Christ cou!d still be established on purely histori cal grounds more firmly than any -1 i , n t h i s t o r y . event ini ancienthsoy For no event in the past is there more historic l evidence. It is estatlished by tA testimony of eye-witnaeses, who saw him die and laid in the tomb, and then saw him alive again. These could:ot -hsve been mistaken 'u the indentity of the person seou, nor cofild it have been a mere hallucin'ation; for.Christ appeared to t6oany people and too ofte1 t e e different times, and on one of these occasions he was seen by fie hundred people. (1 Cor. xv, 9). Many of those who saw him knew him most intiiately, hay ing walked and talked with him; for more th-n three years, some of them having leaned upon his breast. Think. you that theso could have been mistaken in the identity of the person they saw? The Master set Thomas' doubts forever at rest by showing him his pierced hands and side. - Could so many people on so many occasi6ns have seen the amne thing if the person they 4 saw had not been a real person but a mere hallucination? These~ five hundred witnesses went everywhere testifying that they had seen the Lord after his death. They were men and women of the highest character, their enemies being judges. They were willing. at any moment to lay down their lives for their testimony. Men' will lie, but they will not sacri fice their lives to propagate tha~t which they know to -be untrue. These five hund red eve-witnesses must be believed. This is but a hint as to the way the resurrece, tion of Christ can be establiseed on purely historical grounds.! The ~proof is superabundant. The late Judge John Randolph Tiuck er of Virginia, congressman, great lawyer, and law teacher, is re ported to have made some such statement as this to a class of young men he was teaching; hYoun gentlemen, in my life I haebeen interested in many cases in the court of m'y own state and in the supreme court of the United States. I have lost some cases and I have won many; but I have never won a case in whiich rhe evidence was so con clusive as is the evidence for the resurrection of Christ." Few people realize on what a firm. foundation the resurrection of Christ is established. Let us look rnow at a few of the results that flow from the resurre~c tion of Christ. is resurrection proves his claims to be divine. This proof Christ hiiself thought sufficent.) It proves the complete-, ness of the atowmeunt. Our Say ior was "made of a oman, male uder the law, to redeem them that wvere uunder the law," and the law would never have released her claims ujou Lim had she not been fully a ai-fied. The fact was done. It proves the possi bility of the resurrection. "Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some that there is no resurrection of the dead?" 1 Col. xv 12. The resurrection of Chrst involves the resurrection of his people. He is the head; they are the members. If the head be raised, the mem bers must rise also. If, on the other hand, Christ had not risen from the dead, his claims to di vinity would have been disproven there would have- been no atone ment, there could have been no justification by faith no regenera tion by the Holy Spirit, man's sins would have followed him and tormented him through eternity, he oould never have awakened in God's likeness, he would have been without God and without hope in the world. It will not seem strange now, seeing as we must do, something of.the vital importance of the resurrection of Christ, that the Sabbath was changed from the seventh day of the week to the first to commemorate this great event. Every Sabbath day is a reminder of the resurrection. Just as the sun arises from the sleep of the night on that sacred day to shed blessings upon the world, so Christ came forth from the grave on that day to shower blessings upon the children of men. Christian people do well to make much of the resurrection of Christ. In the past they have enshrined it in their hearts and < celebrated it in their hymns; and i may the day never come when 1 the importance of this great event i shall be forgotten. J. K. hall.
