THE Christian, by means of the sorrows he experienced in this world, and which break his heart, learns by the grace of the Lord what He is as the resurrection and the life. Some, it is true, are more deeply taught this lesson than others, for it is only learned in suffering, and by the Lord revealing Himself to the subject hearts of His tried people. He turns the very bitterness of bereavement and the agony of suffering into occasions for revelations of Himself to the heart as the One who, being in heaven, gives strength— His strength, to His own on the earth where He once was. None but a true Christian has the faintest experience, during sorrow and death, of resurrection and of life where Christ is in heaven. The Lord has satisfaction in supplying His grace to His poor and tried but subject people.
