ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THIYRSDAY, APRIL 96lfh, 970 Scripture Lesson Luke 24: 1-12 Taken from a sermon preached by The Rev. B. E, Long. We have comne through -the weeks and events leading Up to that which we recognize 'in the victory and joy of Easter. Ai- though agony is one of the marks of the iast hours of Christ it is one of the steps on the pathway to the resurrection joy. One of the re,,urrection realities was that fear was dispiaced. A uinister tells of his eariy life. "Many years ago in an upstair. bedroom, in an old farm bouse, a smail boy lay petrified with fear. Outside an April breeee blew, while an unreal atmosphere per- vi.ded the dark room. Two white biliowy forms swayed majestic- al;-- in near the window. ilours passed as the littie boy stared in open eyed frigh t at what seem- ed to be spirits from another world. Now it did-not matter that the boy did no believe in ghosts. Here was something close at hand which he could not explain. It seemed an eternity befç)re the first gray streaks of dawn shot across the sky outside 'and the ob- jects became visible for the first time. As darknless disappeared the frightened boy gave a sigh of relief, for' the ghosts which had kept him awake for hours, were discovered Vo be, nothing more than the two white durtains brok- en loose from their tics and float- ing iazily in the breeze." Now this man, a Minister,- says that througli that expexience, ai-' though is occurred more than forty years before, he stili vivid- ly recalis the tenseness of the long, sleepless vigil. H1e goes on to say, "what impresses me now as 1 look back up<rn it, is that Çie dawn brouýht no chanîce in the room. t merely revealed what had been present there ail the time,." Now on a cosmie cl that is precisely what hppr)"7-d ~when dawn came that first Easter moraing. We. are acutoe o tfreat the resurrection ;-as tac unreal event, liouIs orfaati according to ourvrouwiw poinas, but distinctly oth-er world- ly in its impact uiponus To the first witnesses also the resurrection came, not-as a normf- ai event, but as> a startling sur- prisç. The order of things was -not- so much changed as reveaied when that, dawn came. As the littie boy, frightcned, waited un- tii dawn to see and to understand what was in his room, so did the i people of this worid wait in dark- ness and fear until the d.awn of the first Easter, which revealed what, was reaily in the world, in our room. Another Reaiity is that there must be changes. We know that it is natural for life to survive a change in body. Paul uses ti illustration of a seed p]lated in the ground. When it is planted it lias one krnd of a body but whc'î it comes up it bas a very difier- ent body. The hard shel P;' a seed whea it has served its function, is surrendered and left in the earth. But the life that is in it ernerges to something grander than the lit- tie seed couid ever have con- toined in- itself. "Now", says Paul,"I So it is with the resurrec- tion of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is im- peris.,hable. t is sown a physical body,1 it is raised a spiritual body, for, says Paul., this perishable nature mnust put on t he imperish- able and this mnortai nature Put' on immortality.- PaLI reasoned that it is as natural for us Vo sur- ,vi . a change of bodies as for seeds,,Vo doý so. Now his analogy is flot perfect, none ever is. But it su-agests ýan important way tefý think ýabout these things. And He might have used any one of a ng~mber of other illustrations. Take the butterfly for inlstance. IV was not alwayvs a delicately Beautil thing with wings. It- was a' caterpillar once, confined Vo the earth. Then it wrapped'it- self in' its grave clothes and lay as dead for a ime until- one day the grave -was opened and it em- erged a new creature. No longer earth bound, but the inhabitant oa w'r1d available Vo creatures w ith wings. Or again, ake a look at the tadpole, ýhe is a wriggling little th'Pi-g, da->hing off through the water-. Take him out and he wýiIl diU- in a littie while. H1e is eo pe o live in a water world arn]remsunable Vo survive out- side, of it. But just wait. 11e will not i3ay iave that body. 'One day\ -you wi come uipon hlm si~ igoin a rock sunning himiself. You wilI noV recognize him at first because he wili be a different colour and a different shape. 11e Would have four legs and no tail, aiicd be able Vo live out of water-, but he is the same tadpole. 11e'is just living in a different house. Then there is the egg. About as Lifeless lookin.g a thing as you could imagine. No head, no tafl, no legs, not even a furry coat to went to the cross.1 through death to life. I think of a littie girl asked if she v,7-, cross the cemeter-w tween her home and t,- Ressttrrection Realities Crop insurance protects you against the hlazards of a had year- the wafho4, plaut diseose anid insects, *Farming is a risky business.

But you have seen th 'at egg sheil break to give way to the emerging life that has formed within it. Once more the grave is opened and life has walked away to leave its empty tomb. Is it so difficuit then, to be- lieve that God who can draw a butterflv 1r <f q caterpillar, a ut of a tadrole, and the bir' out cf an egg can find some- hing in is -o'Q precious than thc z that surrounds us and -Îlat He can draw it out and give it a new body and continued life? t does flot really seem so strange does it? Now another of the realitie.s that 1 have in mind today is that those who follow Jcsus, live in a new day. Oh I know there is al kinds of fear in the worid. I know there lis ail kinds of apprehension But those who follow Jesus who really foilow Him, who reaily live in Him, live in a n ew' day. And no longer do we fear anything thalt can happen to us ini tis NNorld or in the next. For. us deathitseicýf has become oniy an incident in- the largerlife.
