 The Prince of Life

The Prince of Life

Acts 3:15
“And killed the prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead.”

This is the phrase with which Peter in his great speech in the temple porch described the Master whose disciple he had been for three years, whose death he had witnessed at Calvary and to whose resurrection from the dead he is now bearing witness. “The prince of life!”
It is one of many great titles conferred upon the Lord by those who loved Him … but there is none, perhaps, more luminous or more comprehensive than this with which the impulsive Peter, facing the men who had put Him to death, gave utterance to his loyalty. Its pertinence is confirmed by Jesus Himself, in one of the sayings in which He described His mission:
“I am come that ye might have life, and that ye might have it abundantly.”
Author and giver of life He was, and what He gave He gave with princely munificence—freely, unstintedly.…

Today … we hail Him as the Prince of Life.… If the Spirit of Christ has become the ruling principle of our conduct, then we have entered into life, and it is a life that knows no term; it is the immortal life.… In all our relations with others life is increased.… Out of our lives forever flowing healing, restoring, saving, vitalizing influences.…
What we freely receive from Him, we would freely give. What the whole world needs today is life, more life, fuller life, larger life.
