Happy Easier, Easter Miracle'
Guest Editorial by Pastor John Milbrath
John 11:25-26. Jesus said to Martha. “I am the res
urrection and the life; he who believes in Me, though he
die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in
me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
So you find it hard to believe the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead?
Listen to me:
There are more miracles, and more and more, going
on in your life right now — right while you read this —
than you could ever believe.
If one of His angels (for He is there, alive, you know)
were really to come and tell you, right now, of the mir
acles He is doing for you, you would laugh a little. In
embarrassment. Maybe in fear. Most likely in the feel
ing that someone was playing a joke on you.
By what miracle is life sustained today? By what
miracle is the madman’s finger kept from the atomic
switch? By what miracle was your brain formed in your
Mother's womb, even before your birth? By what mir
acle has His imprint come upon your mind, your person
ality, even your body and the look on your face?
You talk of impossible miracles! Even the theologians
are dodging them now — they are such obstacles to faith!
And the theologians who are writing these things
down are writing by the power of the miracles of the
Lord in themselves! Or who keeps their hearts beating,
their planet spinning?
“Gnd is dead,” is easy to say. Nietzche said it, and
then someone scratched it out and wrote underneath,
“Nietzche is dead.” It was a good line. He could have
added. Nietzche wouldn’t have had time to write, with
out God.
— Without the Easter Lord, and the Father of Lights
who raised Jesus Christ, the Prince of Suns, from the
dead.
— Without the same Easter Lord who, right this min
ute. is keeping you alive unto Himself!
You talk of miracles — how fantastic they are? How
incredible? How way out there?
Who brought you this far?
Who gave you even the courage to ask it?
Put a hand to your pulse.
When you touch the beating of it, remember that the
world could have blown up in the years shortly before
you were born. In fact, the scientists weren’t sure it
wouldn’t when they tried their first pretty experiments
in that football stadium. Chain reactions, you know.
Feel the miracle now?
Well, every day is another one.
Every day is a little resurrection — if you believe in
miracles, that is.

A Plea for Help
Last week many of us felt very
badly when one of our boys was
sent to the reform school. Of
course. we can't have drunken
I driving Maybe at his third of-
i fense he might have killed one
of us.
But is
Wasn't drinking his only offense?
will he be a better lx>y now . . .
Will he be helped to overcome
his weakness or his best self be
I restored? Has he had a chance?
I With alcoholic beverages on our
grocers’ shelves and in many
home refrigerators, is it any won
der that our children learn to
■ drink early? The last issue of
1 ‘'Impact’’ put out by the Oregon
Liquor Control commission, tells
of a boy who started using an al-
colic drink at six years1 of age
and died when eight years old of
i alcoholism.
Statistics show that one out of
every nine social drinkers become
alcoholics, and the number is ris
ing rapidly. Will your boy or girl
be on that list ... a ruined life?
I Isn’t it time that we take a more
serious attitude about the whole
matter of drinking?
Couldn’t some man in this town
have been a big brother to that
fatherless boy to help him to a
better life? Maybe there is some
other boy who might be saved
from going to the reform school!
