The burden of their message in mortality had been the coming of
Christ the Redeemer, and now they still looked forward with the eye of
faith to Him who should die for the sins of the world, and who should
deliver them from the bondage of the grave. They understood that the
body of flesh which had been given them in mortality was necessary for
their full salvation. Christ would bring to pass the resurrection, so
that bodies would be restored to them, not corruptible as before, but
perfected, immortal and glorious, a fit tabernacle for the immortal
spirit with which to go on into the eternal mansions of the Father."

sympathy with the death throes of its Maker, the spirit world also
received the imprint of the terrible event on Calvary as for a moment
the whole spiritual creation lay in tense expectancy. The usual
occupations were suspended.
