Think of the wonder of it  the Fountain of Life Himself wells up within us, taking the place of all that we have delivered, bit by bit, into His grave. "I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me."

Each time that the crown has sunk down again into death, that death has again been crowned in the act of dying: and the life all the time is the apparent thing: the daily dying that underlies it is out of sight to the passing glance. Yes, life is the uppermost, resurrection life, radiant and joyful and strong, for we represent down here Him who liveth and was dead and is alive for evermore. Stress had to be laid in these pages on the death gateway, but a gateway is never a dwelling-place; the death-stage is never meant for our souls to stay and brood over, but to pass through with a will into the light beyond. We may and must, like the plants, bear its marks, but they should be visible to God rather than to man, for above all and through all is the inflowing, overflowing life of Jesus: oh let us not dim it by a shadow of morbidness or of gloom: He is not a God of the dead, but a God of the living, and He would have us let the glory of His gladness shine out.  AND EACH HAS BEEN ALL THE WHILE CROWNED WITH LIFE EACH TIME THAT THE CROWN HAS SUNK DOWN AGAIN INTO DEATH THAT DEATH HAS AGAIN BEEN CROWNED IN THE ACT OF DYING AND THE LIFE ALL THE TIME IS THE APPARENT THING THE DAILY DYING THAT UNDERLIES IT IS OUT OF SIGHT TO THE PASSING GLANCE YES LIFE IS THE UPPERMOST RESURRECTION LIFE RADIANT AND JOYFUL AND STRONG FOR WE REPRESENT DOWN HERE HIM WHO LIVETH AND WAS DEAD AND IS ALIVE FOR EVERMORE STRESS HAD TO BE LAID IN THESE PAGES ON THE DEATH GATEWAY BUT A GATEWAY IS NEVER A DWELLING PLACE THE DEATH STAGE IS NEVER MEANT FOR OUR SOULS TO STAY AND BROOD OVER BUT TO PASS THROUGH WITH A WILL INTO THE LIGHT BEYOND WE MAY AND MUST LIKE THE PLANTS BEAR ITS MARKS BUT THEY SHOULD BE VISIBLE TO GOD RATHER THAN TO MAN FOR ABOVE ALL AND THROUGH ALL IS THE INFLOWING OVERFLOWING LIFE OF JESUS OH LET US NOT DIM IT BY A SHADOW OF MORBIDNESS OR OF GLOOM HE IS NOT A GOD OF THE DEAD BUT A GOD OF THE LIVING AND HE WOULD HAVE US LET THE GLORY OF HIS GLADNESS SHINE OUT
