Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sermon Preached in St. Luke's Church on the Morning of Easter Sunday, 1861
I believe in the resurrection of the body. Who can refuse to believe in this article of the Christian Faith, after the recorded, attested Miracles of Easter. Heathens in their blindness may regard the earthly house of this tabernacle as a perishable tenement, which, once dissolved, was dissolved eternally. But they know not the triumphs of Jesus Christ, they have not learned the history of Him that liveth and was dead, and is alive for evermore, -in their dark calendar there is no glorious Easter-tide, -in their comfortless theol ogy there is no resurrection of their dead, -to them, as yet, has not been revealed one whom they may call Saviour - a Saviour who having died, continued not in death, and of whom we, with Job can joyously exclaim, I know that my Redeemer liveth. They know not of a mighty Being, who investing Himself in our mortal ?esh, lived our life, suffered our pains, died our death, and then to justify our souls, and prove the imperishable destiny of our whole being, rose again.
