DEATH HAS CONQUERED ALL, BUT OUR LORD CONQUERED DEATH. The wisest, the strongest, the bravest, the kindest, the holiest - all have been conquered by death. It has triumphed over myriads, and turned our world into a vast graveyard. But love is equally strong, it conquers all. The love of Jesus is stronger, for it conquered death itself. And we are the objects of that love. He says, "I have loved you." He proves it: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." He has proved the strength of His love by the gifts He has conferred upon us; by the visits He has paid us, by the tears He shed for us, by the labour He undertook to perform for us, by the sufferings He endured for us, by the death He died, by the desire He cherished, and by His constant intercession on our behalf. His love overcame all obstacles, triumphed over all opposition, conquered all foes, and now reigns in His bosom as a ruling passion of His manhood, and as a glorious perfection of His Godhead. His love passes conception. Let us retire tonight impressed with the thought, that the love of Jesus is unalterably fixed on us who believe in His name.

For Meditation:
My blessed Saviour, is Thy love
So great, so full, so free?
Behold I give my love, my heart,
My life, my all, to Thee.
