Classic Jack Hamm Cartoon: "Easter Meditation"

"Easter Meditation" by Jack Hamm was distributed to newspapers for Sunday, April 10, 1955 almost exactly 65 years ago today. Meditating on John 11:25, words spoken by Jesus to Martha before he rose Lazurus, may have far greater meaning today as millions recognize his saving power while at home instead of a traditional worship service this Easter. 

"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live"
