We start, therefore, with the simplest possible belief in a future life. When we declare our faith in " the resurrection of the body and the life ever- lasting " we mean — if, for a moment, we may brush aside all technicalities — simply what we commonly call immortality; we J 23 124 THE EXPERIMENT OF FAITH mean the conviction that, after death here, personality survives in another life beyond. The power of the apostles' preaching lay in their assertion of positive knowledge of facts which gave ...assurance of this common hope. Their faith was grounded in the absolute certainty that their crucified Mas- ter was still alive. If there is anything on earth beyond controversy it is that the disciples of the Lord believed with all their hearts that Jesus Christ had risen. They were as sure of it as they were of their own existence. And they were just as sure that His resurrection was a pledge of their own. Therein lay the wonder of their message.
