Philippians 3:10
Dear brother or sister,
The principle of a risen Savior is extraordinarily precious. The resurrection is the corner-stone of the entire building of Christianity. It is the key-stone of the arch of our salvation.
It would take a whole book to show you all the streams of living water which
flow from this one blessed source, the resurrection of our dear Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.
To know that he has risen is precious, but to have real
fellowship with him
- communing with the risen Savior by possessing a risen
life
- seeing him leave the tomb by leaving the tomb of worldliness
ourselves.
This is even still more precious.
The doctrine is the basis
of the experience, but as the flower is more lovely than the root, so is the
experience of fellowship with the risen Savior more lovely than the doctrine
itself.
I would like you to believe that the Christ rose from the dead. So
you can sing of it, and receive consolation and comfort from it, but I plead on
you, do not rest on this point, being content with this knowledge and
comfort.
Though, like the disciples, you cannot, see Jesus visibly, yet I
want you to desire to see the Christ by the eye of faith; and though, like Mary
Magdalene, you may not "touch" him, yet you are privileged to communicate with
him, and to know that he is risen, because you yourselves are risen in him to
newness of life.
To know a crucified Savior, having crucified all my sins
in him, is a high degree of knowledge; but to know a risen Savior, Who has
justified me, and to realize that he has bestowed upon me new life, and made me
a new creature through his own newness of life, is a gracious experience.
No
one ought to rest satisfied unless this is their experience as well.
May
you both
Rise, for the Lord is risen.
Tomorrow: That I may know Him
Forward it to a friend who can be helped with it!
