Christ the Conqueror of Death
Sunday School Chronicle
Isaiah 25:8
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces…


Tennyson tells, in the "Idylls of the King," of a knight who fought with death. And when he had overcome him and pierced through his ghastly trappings, "there issued the bright face of a blooming boy." So Christ has conquered death for us, and, penetrating its terror, has brought, not death, but "life and immortality to light."

(Sunday School Chronicle.)
