IMMORTALITY THROUGH CHRIST.
IMMORTALITY WAS dreamed of by the ancients; the Assyrians held to it; the winged globe of the Egyptians symbolized it; Socrates rejoiced that he was to be freed from the prison-house of his body; but only Christ has brought Life and Immortality to light in the gospel; only He demonstrated that immortality is a fact, not a theory—an established verity, is not a vague hypothesis. “Because I live ye shall live also;” because He triumphed over sin, the believer, too, shall triumph; because He conquered death, the believer, too, shall spoil the spoiler. Is there any truth grander than that—and does the Christian need any nobler incentive to Christian progress than the truth that the sum of his life-work shall be a blessed immortality beyond?—Christian at Work.
