In the timeless devotional The Cloud of Witness, we see the calm logic of Edward Young (1683–1765) who appeals to the reader to believe in resurrection. Matter, he reasons, is never destroyed, so why should the immaterial not share this honor?

Further, if one still struggles to accept the notion of immortality, he asks, “Is it less strange that thou shouldst live at all?” And if by a miracle we live, then why not accept that “who gave beginning, can exclude an end”?

Charlotte Mason also believed in resurrection. And she believed in the miracle of life. Christ’s victory, she explains, is not just for the future. It is our life every day. Read or hear it in Mason’s inimitable words here.
