Last Post and Reveille
April 4, 2010
‘Because I live, you will live also.’ John 14:19 NKJV
It’s said that Winston Churchill planned his own funeral in St. Paul’s Cathedral. He included great hymns of the church. After the benediction a bugler positioned high in the dome played the Last Post, the bugle call that is played at military funerals. Next, another bugler, placed on the other side of the great dome, played Reveille. ‘It’s time to get up. It’s time to get up. It’s time to get up in the morning.’ On Easter morning Jesus rose from the dead, heaven sounded Reveille, and the promise was fulfilled: ‘Because I live, you will live also.’ What a message! And it means two things for every follower of Christ: (1) When it’s ‘goodnight’ here, it’s ‘good morning’ over there (2) When you lose a loved one at death, the parting is only for a moment but reunion will last for all eternity. Paul writes: ‘…if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world. But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died. So you see, just as death came into the world through a man, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man. Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life. But there is an order to this resurrection: Christ was raised as the first of the harvest; then all who belong to Christ will be raised when he comes back.’ (1 Corinthians 15:19-23 NLT) Hallelujah!
