EASTER

There’s an oil painting for the Royal Corps of Signals which illustrates the Easter message. The picture depicts a signaller in World War I who was killed when he was sent to repair a telegraph cable snapped by shell fire. The picture shows him lying dead but holding together the broken ends of the cable. Beneath the picture was the one word THROUGH! A visiting preacher looked at the painting and said that this is what Christ has done by His death. Sin had snapped the contact between God and man. Alone in no-man’s-land, unarmed except with infinite understanding and love, Christ brought the broken ends together through His death. [John 19:30]
