Dead Or Alive

READ: John 20:1-8

They went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. —Luke 24:3

Long lines of visitors from all over the world wait patiently day after day to visit Lenin’s Tomb and view his embalmed body. Although he died in 1924, the corpse of that Communist leader has seemingly suffered no decomposition. It looks deceptively lifelike. And its appearance is indeed deceptive. Skillful artists monitor the preserved corpse, artificially coloring its face and using wax to fill in any lines or the smallest spot of decay.

People also regularly visit Jerusalem to see the place where Jesus died and was buried. But there’s a striking contrast—there is no body of the crucified Christ anywhere. Oh, there is one rock-hewn tomb, where according to tradition the nail-scarred, spear-driven, thorn-crowned corpse of Christ was laid. But resurrected by the power of God His Father, the Savior left His graveclothes behind when He emerged from the tomb, like a butterfly abandoning its cocoon.

Jesus is alive and you can know His presence today. Because of His atoning death and the empty tomb, you can have eternal life (1 Cor. 15:20-22). You need only to admit that you are a sinner and want His salvation. He’ll give you new life now, and one day you’ll see Him and be with Him forever (1 Peter 1:3-5).

Grave, where is thy victory now?
See the light upon His brow!
Empty—see, the stony bed;
Christ is risen from the dead!  —Chisholm

Christ’s empty tomb guarantees our full salvation.

Bible in One Year:   Leviticus 25; Mark 1:23-45

Don't forget the hoke poke song,

Put your right hand in
Put your right hand out
Put your right hand in
And you shake it all about
Do the hokey pokey
And you turn yourself around
Thats what its all about...

It recounts the cold dousing with delousing fluid that was a routine part of coming out of a tour in the trenches. Because it was cold, you could just barely stand to put in a hand, then the other hand, then the foot,then the other foot.

The Hokee Pokee info is incredible...I sang that song a thousand times and never knew what it meant!

[luvie]

Great thread and theme, Star! (((hugs)))

Thanks for opening the Canteen for us tonight!

[SandRat]

I hope this brings a smile and moist eyes to those still around and old enough to remember.

To the rest of us we have some things to learn about our Grandparaents or Great-Granparents or maybe even Great-Great Grandparents.

Thank you Star.

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's
Born on the Fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy

I'm the kid that's all the candy
I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
I'm glad I am
So's Uncle Sam
I'm a real live Yankee Doodle
Made my name and fame and boodle
Just like Mister Doodle did
By riding on a pony
I love to listen to the Dixey strain
"I long to see the girl I left behind me"
And that ain't a josh
She's a Yankee, by gosh
Oh, say can you see
Anything about a Yankee that's a phoney?

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's
Born on the Fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy

Father's name was Hezikiah
Mother's name was Ann Maria
Yanks through and through
Red, white and blue
Father was so Yankee hearted
When the Spanish War was started
He slipped upon his uniform
And hopped up on a pony
My mother's mother was a Yankee true
My father's father was a Yankee too
And that's going some
For the Yankees, by gum
Oh, say can you see
Anything about my pedigree that's phoney?

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy

A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's
Born on the Fourth of July

Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy

You don't have "OVER THERE" in there?



Also, is "O Johnny O" really a WWI-era song?

[NY Attitude]

Was "My Buddy" a WW I song?

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

My Father that served in France during WWI, sang this with some bad lyrics.

Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous,
Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous,
Mademoiselle from Armentieres,
She hasn't been kissed for forty years.

Hinky-dinky parlez-vous.

Oh Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous,
Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous,
She got the palm and the croix de guerre,
For washin' soldiers underwear,

Hinky-dinky parlez-vous.

The Colonel got the Croix de Guerre, Parlez-vous,
The Colonel got the Croix de Guerre, Parlez-vous,
The Colonel got the Croix de Guerre,
The son-of-gun was never there!

Hinky-dinky parlez-vous.

Oh Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous,
Mademoiselle from Armentieres, Parlez-vous,
You didn't have to know her long,
To know the reason men go wrong!

Hinky-dinky parlez-vous.
