Resurrection

When the Lord Jesus came to Bethany He found that Lazarus had been dead four days and weeping and mourning had full place. Martha's faith reached to this, that the Lord could heal the sick. She had to learn a greater thing: "I am the Resurrection and the Life" said the Lord. And in the scene portrayed we have a forecast of the morning when many shall hear His shout as He rises from the Father's throne with archangel voice and trump of God, and shall come forth as Lazarus did. And yet not as Lazarus, for instead of being bound in grave-clothes the dead in Christ will be endued with incorruption; and unlike Martha and Mary, who in mortal bodies welcomed their brother back to life, the living in Christ shall in the morning of the day of Christ put on immortality. For the Lord Himself has now been raised, and He has immortality, and He is incorruptible, who is the first fruits, that in all things He might have the pre-eminence.
