Psalm xvi. 9, 10. Mark xvi. 6.
Jesus rose from the dead. It was impossible that the Son of God should
be holden of death.
[Illustration HE IS RISEN!]
The angel came down and rolled away the stone, and then told the
frightened women that Jesus was not there, but was risen, "as He said."
All through the whole of the Bible it is "As He said." As God has
said—so it will surely be.
Jesus told the disciples that He would ascend to His Father; and He led
them out to Bethany and went up to Heaven in their sight.
He told them that the Father would send the Holy Spirit down, and that
they were to wait for Him.
They did wait, and at the appointed time the Holy Spirit came, and is
with us still, though we cannot see Him; He is our Comforter and Guide.
All these things are very solemn realities.
We have been dwelling on some of the Prophecies that have been
fulfilled. There are numbers more yet to be fulfilled hereafter.
