And since the resurrection of the dead (of the just and the unjust alike) is something that happens to them solely by virtue of Jesus' resurrection.everything that happens after the second coming of Jesus - judgment, heaven and even hell - happens within the triumphantly reconciling power of his death and resurrection. The judgment occurs only after the general resurrection of the dead. For a related article from theologian Baxter Kruger, click here.

One of the wire “legs” of the spectacles had broken off and someone, presumably Lincoln himself, had clumsily repaired it with a piece of darning wool. It was eerie to hold in one’s hand what looked to be the same spectacles that he wore as he was photographed reading the Second Inaugural Address, the month before his murder.

As an ever-present metaphor for human endeavour, I fear they would slowly drive me mad. I find them exquisite, but I'm not sure that I would ever want to own a row. This is what they say: that the potter may throw any shape he likes that no two of his pots will ever be precisely the same and that a pot may disappear – crash! – in an instant.
