IN the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead lies the hope of humanity. There is no other ground of hope. The world is being taught that man’s hope is inherently bound up in himself, and that through ages of progression, man will reach divinity. But the Word of God has definitely set itself against any such idea. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” I Peter I: 3-5. While the churches of all Christendom are having their attention called to the resurrection of our Lord, it is important that the significance of his resurrection be made known—that outside of him man is lost; that in him we may be born again, this time to a hope imperishable, and an inheritance that can never pass away.
