WHEN MARTHA MET THE MASTER JUST OUTSIDE THE LITTLE CITY of Bethany, her faith was low. She had been disappointed at the delay of Jesus and brokenhearted because her brother was dead. She had faith for the past, saying, “Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died (John 11:32). She had future faith in the resurrection at the last day, but 2lm the Hcsurrccnon and the Cife

not much faith for the present crisis. Jesus challenged her faith when He said. “I am the resurrection, and the life.” These words gave assurance. She led Him to the grave, and there He demonstrated His life-giving power by raising Lazarus from the dead. Jesus was not only the resurrection for Lazarus—that life was in himself. When hell waged war against Him, crucified Him on Calvary, and scaled Him in a rock-hewn tomb guarded by Roman soldiers, it was insufficient to crush that life. On the first Easter morning He burst the bars of death, by clothed himself with immortality, and stepped from the tomb an eternal SYLVIA C onqueror. This same power which resurrected Jesus can resurrect those who are ANDERSON dead in trespasses and sin and give them spiritual life, purify the heart, fill it with the grace of holiness, and plant the seed of everlasting life which Evangelist will bloom in immortal glory. Wichita, Kansas Only a few days ago I stood by the bedside of a loved one as she crossed the border of time. We, like Martha, had prayed that our Lord would raise her up. We watched with aching hearts as her spirit departed; then Jesus came with comfort and assurance, saying, “I am the resurrection, and the life.” I know that we shall meet again when immortal we stand in the pres­ ence of Christ, who is “the resurrection, and the life.”
