Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be holden of it.—Acts 2:24.
I CAN imagine when they laid our Lord in Joseph’s tomb one might have seen Death sitting over that sepulcher, saying,
“I have Him; He is my victim. He said He was the Resurrection and the Life. Now I hold Him in my cold embrace. They thought He was never going to die; but see Him now. He has had to pay tribute to me.”
Never! The glorious morning comes, the Son of man bursts asunder the hands of death, and rises, a conqueror, from the grave. “Because I live,” He shouts, “ye shall live also.”
Yes, we shall live also—is it not good news?
