Founded on an Empty Tomb

Said an unbeliever, sneeringly, "The Christian church is founded on an empty tomb." And so it is. This blessed fact, first of all, makes life endurable and the burdens of life bearable. Luther at a time of great perplexity and fear sat by his table with bowed head and heart. Soon he lifted his face triumphantly toward the light, and his finger began to trace upon the table, "He lives! He lives!"
We wonder not that the disciples ran to the sepulcher when first they heard that it was empty. Our own hearts beat more quickly as this truth takes possession of us. —The Classmate.
