DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 3 to 4:23; Ezekiel 5-6; John 1:1-18
When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, we will hear thee again of this matter. Acts 17:32
When Paul preached on Mars Hill and mentioned the resurrection of the dead, it stirred a vocal reaction among the listeners. Some mocked, some procrastinated, and some believed. Among those who believed were Dionysius (a judge of the court of Areopagus) and a woman named Damaris. There are those who think Paul pandered to philosophy on Mar’s Hill (read 17:18-21) and failed. The fact that some believed on Christ repudiates such a notion. What is your attitude toward Christ and His resurrection? Derision? Delay? Or decision? —W. Ross Rainey
The Saviour lives, no more to die; He lives, our Head enthroned on high;
He lives triumphant o’er the grave; He lives eternally to save. —S. Medley
