The Resurrection.

By O. HOFFER.

THE resurrection of the dead was an important theme with the apostles, and one upon which they loved to dwell. All their hope of immortality was built upon the resurrection of the dead, or a change equivalent thereto. But that this glorious doctrine is too much neglected in this our day, the following testimony will show. Dr. A. Clarke says:
“One remark I cannot help making. The doctrine of the resurrection appears to have been thought of much more consequence among the primitive Christians than it is now. How is this? The apostles were continually insisting on it, and exciting the followers of God to diligence, obedience, and cheerfulness through it; and their successors in the present day seldom mention it. There is not a doctrine in the gospel on which more stress is laid, and there is not a doctrine in the present system of preaching which is treated with more neglect.”
H. H. Dobney says:
“Few will deny that the resurrection is uniformly represented in Scripture as a much more important doctrine than the popular style of the present day makes it to be.” Future Punishment, p. 144.
