Our Lost Children
Luke 8:49-56
While he yet spoke, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Your daughter is dead…


"She is not dead." This He said of all our children we have seen lying thus. Christ here reveals to us, as truth, what the poets of all ages have been telling the world. Our children are not lost. They sleep. The burden has been too much, the road too broken, the light too dim for their eyes.

(E. Aston)
