An Appointed Tryst Unexpectedly Kept
A Day of Startling Joyous Surprises
"Halts by me that footfall:
Is my gloom, after all,
Shade of His hand outstretched caressingly?
'Ah, fondest, blindest, weakest,
I am He whom thou seekest!
Thou drawest love from thee, who drawest Me.'"
—"The Hound of Heaven.
"After I am raised up I will go before you into Galilee."—Mark xiv. 28.

An Appointed Tryst Unexpectedly Kept
(John xx.)

He had appointed to meet them three days after His death. He had made a further appointment to meet them in Galilee. What a stupendous appointment to make!
