Ah, then, if you have died with Him, you are risen with Him. Say, now, do you desire to be one with Christ? For if you are one with Him in heart, you shall be one with Him in all His trophies and His glories. Do you say, "No. I care not for Christ"? Soul! Soul! If you die in that mind you shall
have no part in the first resurrection. But when the wicked rise, then shall you, "Awaken to shame and everlasting contempt."
But and if you say in your heart this morning, "I believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead according to the Scriptures. I put my sole and only trust in Him. He is to me all my salvation and all my desire," go your way. You shall "stand in your lot at the end of the days." You shall have your
portion among them that are sanctified. You shall rejoice together with Him and sit down at His marriage banquet forever. God add His own blessing, for Jesus' sake. Amen.
