A missionary in Turkey wished to teach to a group of people the truth of the resurrection of Christ.
He said: "I am traveling & have reached a place
where the road branches off in two ways; I look for a guide & find two men:
one dead & the other alive. Which of the two must I ask for direction, the
dead or the living?"
"Oh, the living," cried the people.
"Then," said the missionary, "why send me to
anyone who is dead, instead of to Christ, who is alive!"

Luke 25:5 (RSVCE): The men said to them, “Why do you seek
the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.”
“Let us consider this settled, that no one has made progress
in the school of Christ who does not joyfully await the day of death and final
resurrection.” - John Calvin.
