In John 20:9 we read, "We hadn’t realized that the Scriptures said ... ": How much do we know what the Scriptures say? In a day of biblical illiteracy people seem to know less and less of the glorious things on those pages of holy writ. But they are there for us to read, and to realize that they apply to us. It is God’s personal message for each of us.

A most interesting incident is told concerning a Chinese man whose first name was Lo. When he became a convert to Christianity and read the Bible he became greatly excited when he read his name in various places, "Lo, I am with you always." He thought the message was to him, personally. And he was right! The Scriptures are for our edification. Their promises apply to you. Vicky, I am with you always. Sam, I am with you always. Hannah, I am with you always. Matthew, I am with you always. In all of Christ's glorious promises, He is with you always.

It is of us that the Bible says, "Though he were dead, yet shall he live." O wonderful Easter message of everlasting life - for us, always!
