The Memorial of His Resurrection
It is fitting that life shall be memorialized by life, but the resurrection of Christ is to be memorialized by more than wreaths of fading flowers. The one thing above all others precious in the sight of God is a saved soul, and it is those saved souls that are memorials of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection. . . . that henceforth we should not serve sin." Rom. 6:3-6. Such memorials would demonstrate to the world every day that Christ has risen from the dead, and that the power of His resurrection is transmuted into human character. It is well to remember that resurrection one day, but let that one day be every day.
