HE LIVES AND LOVES FOREVER
Some time ago a preacher was speaking about the resurrection of Christ, and he said that he had been telling the story of the crucifixion to his four-year old boy. As he went on with the story, the little fellow looked up with a sad expression on his face, and said, “Did Jesus die then, Dad?” “Yes,” said the father, “He died on the cross.” “Oh,” said the boy, “He cannot love me now, then.” Said the father, in telling this incident, “How I realized the value of the resurrection at that moment, and what a joy it was be able to say: ‘He can love one now because He rose again from the dead on the third day. He lives, and loves, now and forever.'”
