"If a man die, shall he live again?"
Job asks the question, and who will reply?
If Life is helpless to care for its own,
Shall death, in power unbridled, take charge?
That hoary reaper, the ultimate foe—
Can death create the fresh budding of life?
"If a man die, shall he live again?"
Here is the answer, Job: Life does not die.
When Jesus called to the man in the tomb
He did not speak to a dead man at all,
He spoke to the living one; and from the tomb,
Swaddled in graveclothes, Lazarus came forth.
