And now, the true Easter Seal, on this sunrise, was broken; and the secret, of Life after death, was revealed. Before that time, we didn’t know. The world grouped in darkness, groped around, man’s suspicion. Theories was among man’s heart, tradition made up. Men worshipped idols. They worshipped the sun. They worshipped all kinds of gods. And all kinds of people that made claims, they all went into the grave, and they stayed in the grave.
But the real Seal had been broken, and One Who once lived as we live, died as we will die, was risen from the dead. What a morning! Never one like it, in all the history of the world. The secret was made known that He was both resurrection and the Life.
And He said, when He come forth on that morning, “Because I live, you live also.” Not only was He the beneficiary of the resurrection, but all those Seed that was resting in God’s great promise was a benefactor of that resurrection to Life. Because, He said, “Because I live, ye shall live also.” That was the breaking of the Seal. Because He was brought up, so will every one that’s in Christ be brought up with Him.
At this glorious sunrise, God had proven, or vindicated, His Word. All the glooms and doubt that had moved in people’s minds was taken away, because here was He Who once lived, eat, drink, and fellowship with mankind, that said, “I have power to lay My life down; I have power to raise it up again.” And now not only had He made the statement, but He proved it to be the Truth. Oh, what a glorious thing that is!
