THE PLEDGE OF EASTER
Men of all ages have searched
for pledges of immortality, for
proofs of a life beyond the grave.
In our day it has become the
fashion to point, for instance, to
the dying leaves of autumn and
i to the tender shoots of spring
time as pictures of death and res
urrection and as pledges of life
beyond the grave.
But when the cold fingers of
icy death come tapping at our
shoulder, there will be no com
fort in the fact that October is
the time of falling leaves and
that springtime is the season
when the lilacs and the lilies
bloom.
At that moment only one com
fort will avail, and that is the
pledge of Easter: “I am the resur
rection and the Life; he that be
lieveth in Me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live; and who
soever liveth and believeth in
Me shall never die.” John 11:25
26.
That is the pledge and promise
of Jesus Christ to all who put
their trust in Him. By His own
resurrection from the dead on
Easter morning He placed the
seal of heaven’s approval on this
solemn word of promise.
The message of the resurrect
ed Christ to all believers of all
ages is the immovable assurance:
“Because I live, ye shall live al
so. Where I am, there shall also
Mv servant be ”
The Bible tells us: “Christ is
the first fruits of therh that
slept.” Just as the first fruits are
the foretaste, or the forepledge,
of a later and more general har
vest, so Christ’s resurrection is
the guarantee of the resurrec
tion of all believers to a life of
glory in the later, greater har
vest on the day of Judgement.
That is the pledge of Easter.
