Excerpt from Death and the Resurrection: A Sermon Preached on Sunday, March 15, 1874
IT seems almost impossible for man, or for angel, to state exactly flow the dead are raised up. Jesus leaves the matter in the dark. The apostles do not attempt to explain it minutely. It is one of the mysteries that are peiarly under the sole management of God. How? What matter how? It is the fact we want, not the means. How does the seed become the tree? How does a little mist grow into a star? How is the infant ever a man? Ah! Tell me how any thing is, as it is? Sift nature's secrets if you can. Look at yourself, then find out all about your mind, your body, and your heart. It is impossible. Do not go into the future, asking Izow, until the past and the present are all plain. There is something very beautiful and very sublime in the spirit that rests content with realities, never at tempting to make these realities tell the secret of their growth.
A peach tastes just as good, although you know nothing about its history as you hold it in your hand, and as you are ready to enjoy its delicious flavor. A ship sails just as well, although you never could tell how it was made, nor of what timber it is composed.
