Indeed, He is risen:
On the first day of the week,
Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning,
while it was still dark,
and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
So she ran and went to Simon Peter
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them,
“They have taken the Lord from the tomb,
and we don’t know where they put him.”
So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter
and arrived at the tomb first;
he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
When Simon Peter arrived after him,
he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there,
and the cloth that had covered his head,
not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
Then the other disciple also went in,
the one who had arrived at the tomb first,
and he saw and believed.
For they did not yet understand the Scripture
that he had to rise from the dead. – John 20:1-9
In a world grown weary and cold there is always this – that this is not all things; there is more to life than the trials of this world. In the fullness of time there came among us a Savior, Jesus – the Christ, the Son of the Living God. All things are made new in Him and all who believe in him will obtain everlasting life. I know that not all my readers believe as I do, but I cannot help – at least at times – to speak of what I believe most fervently in my heart: that Jesus really is the Messiah and that all the troubles of this world will amount to less than nothing in the life of the world to come. Call it what you will, but I believe that when I die, I shall not die as an end, but only as a means of getting in to the next world, my true world – the place I was meant to be. And I do hope to see all of you there.
