He who was born in lowly circum stances. and suffered the shameful death of the cross, -is now the con queror of* death. His resurrection gives meaning)jto his death. If Christ had not risen, then his'death .would have been meanin.;less. ‘‘If ChTlst be t risen, your faith is vain; ye are in yoiKsIns” (i Cor. ir»:17). 4. “Go your way. tell Ills disciples and I’etelC (v. 7).

One does not read far in the Bible before he comes to such statements as these: “Thus said the Lord,” or “The Lori! said." These , phrases, or like on^s, occur over five hundred times in the first five books of the Bible, and over twelve hundred times in the propheticnl books. In addition to this men who wrote we' find that the Old and New Testaments the claim their f. v\ utterances to be divinely inspired. And the New Testament) tells us that “holy men of old.spake as they were moved by the Spirit of. God,” and that “all Scripture Is given by •inspiration of God,” that is, God-breathed. Besides this, the book assumes to speak authoritatively from God to man. Now with this testimony before us, we are shut up to one of two conclusions; either It is what it claims to be, or It Is a fraud. Having examined, studied and tested the book with the acid test of experience, we are persuaded that Its lofty claim is established. Ih Another evidence which has led us to this conclusion and tipon which we rest our belief is the unity. . I .. While it_ is a library -of sixty-six books; It is nevertheless one .sinsie book and while Itxvas written by about forty different writers, it lias a single- nessHnf plan and purpose. This in the face of the fact.that-its authors wrote over a period of something like fif teen hundred years. There.is only one way to account for this unity and that is by believing that there >vss ! great architectural mind that designed and executed his plan. III. Again an evidence upon which we rest our belief in the Bible is its teaching. It is the one book that tells us about God; who-he Is and what he is; that tells us about nlan. whence he came, what he Is, and whither he Is going. It reveals the love of God in the' plan and -purpose ‘of redemption through Christ. Without the Bible,-we should bv searching try to find out God and by guessing Jo discover ourselves. By. It, we have come to know God. whom to know aright Is life everlustiEUL~nnd to know’ ourselves. * What was said of our Lord can be said of the Bible: No book ever like this book.
