Resurrection is indeed a practical truth — in the way that we are shown how we should walk now, as those alive from the dead. No doubt this truth would answer the thousand and one questions which our deceitful hearts often ask, such as, May I go there? May I do this? For we can say, Would such a place or course of action become those who are “alive from the dead,” dead to sin, and who are therefore to serve in newness of spirit and not in oldness of letter? I do pray that the meditation of this precious truth may have the effect of making us unworldly and more Christ-like. The brightness of His coming cheers us on.
The Bible Student, 3:181
