Jesus Has the Keys.

By B. F. M.

Long months ago our lovely child was torn from our embrace by death. We saw with aching hearts the work of the destroyer, but could not stay his power. The grave closed over her beautiful form. No earthly power could loose from death's embrace, nor earthly hand relieve our stricken hearts.
How sweet the promise then, “They shall come again from the land of the enemy.” And sweeter still the words of Christ, our Saviour, “All that are in the grave shall hear his voice and come forth.” And again, as from Patmos' lonely isle he sent messages to his people, “I have the keys of hell and of death.” Jesus holds the keys that will unlock the tomb. Blessed thought! We can intrust our loved ones with him. They will be released.
