French Dialogues

 

I had a good French teacher in high school, Mrs. McFadden.  She had us memorize conversations between two or three people.  The only problem was that they were in French, and I didn’t understand anything that they were saying.  But I made it through the first year, and the second, and the third.  Then, one evening, as I was going through some old stuff at home, and I found one of those first-year French dialogues.  And as I read it, it made perfect sense to me because after three years, I knew how to speak French!  What seemed nonsense three years earlier now made perfect sense.  Hey, that’s how it was with the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  On that first Easter morning, the women came to the tomb of Jesus but found his body missing.  Standing nearby were two angels in shining garments.  Luke 24:5&6, “… they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee.”  A dead person coming back to life was unheard of!  But as the women looked into the empty tomb, they understood.  Hey, do you remember the Words that you have read in the Bible?  Do they not make sense to you? Then read them again.  Study them.  Memorize them.  They will do you great good.  And like my French dialogues, Scripture will begin to make sense to you.
