Because
He valued Abel
God
honoured him
By
listening to the cry of his blood
From
the ground.
He
gave Joseph this accolade:
His
coffin was carried,
Forty
years,
By
the myriads of the thousands of Israel.
Moses
- faithful in all God’s house - God
distinguished
As
the only man
Whom
He Himself buried.
Elisha’s
grace and faith
Were
accorded this distinction:
The
dead man revived
When
he touched Elisha’s bones.
In
the sight of Jehovah
The
death of His saints was precious.
But
one Man deserved
A
greater honour;
One
Man required
A
higher accolade;
One
Man attracted
A
greater distinguishment;
His
moral worth
Ensured
Him this distinction:
The
Father’s glory raised Him from
Among
the dead.
Wonderful.
