some to dishonor. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he
shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified and meet for the master's
use, prepared unto every good work" (2 Tim. ii:20-21). Hear the Word
of the Lord! Hear His call! Be faithful to Him! Keep His Word and do
not deny His Name! Honor and glorify Him who is our Lord whom we
soon shall see face to face.

Christ's Resurrection Song.

WHEN the blessed Lord appeared in the midst of His disciples and
they beheld the risen One in His glorified body of flesh and bones
and He ate before them, He told them that all things which were
written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets and _in the Psalms_
concerning Him, had to be fulfilled (Luke xxiv:44). While on the way
to Emmaus He said to the two sorrowing and perplexed disciples
"Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into
His glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets he expounded

leave Him in his hand, nor condemn Him when He is judged." Our Lord
is this righteous One. Words of wisdom and judgment, mercy and truth
flowed from His lips while righteousness in heart and life, and
perfect obedience were manifested in Him. Then His death and
deliverance are indicated in these words. However, care must be
taken not to apply all the e
