THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS, AND MANKIND

 

(1). THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS

 

The Resurrection of Jesus is the Foundation fact on which Christianity is built. If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain: and you are yet in your sins.l" 1 Cor. 15: 17. and this also mean that them who have falling asleep in Christ, perished. if in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are men most miserable.

 

But now have Christ risen from the dead, and He is the first fruits of them that slept, so since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 1 Cor. 15: 21.

 

For in Adam all die, even in Christ all will be made alive. but every man in his own order 1Cor. 15: 23, that is to say we will all have our own personalities and our own being pretty much as we have now, only we will have spiritual bodies. then comes the end when Christ shall delivered up the Kingdom to God. this is one of the misteries that Christ mention from time to time in his sermons, stating that the Kingdom of God is at hand, how the Kingdom of God is with men, how the Kingdom of God is with you and in you, and the promise of a Kingdom for the believer is essential to where the believers will live eternally.

 

In that God will put down all rule, power and authority, for Christ must reign until he have put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be put under his feet is death, He will destroyed death.

 

And when he have put all thing under him, and when all things are subdued under him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

 

Christ made it perfectly clear that first, the kingdom of God will be an eternal kingdom, and that it will be a kingdom of those who believe in Christ, that is that Christ die and was resurrected, and have the power to resurrected both the living and the dead from death.

 

The believers home will be a perpared place, both the Church and angels will live there, and also other creatures, in that day the wolf and lamb will live together, the leopard will lie down with the baby goat, and the calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child will lead them all. Isaiah 11: 6...11: 7.

 

In this world that we now live in, we don't exspect the lion and the lamb to lie down together, nor do we exspect a leopard to lie down with baby goats. but in the kingdom of God we see that all things are possible.

 

Now, we see that other creatures, other life forms, other then resurected humans and spritural beings will be in God kingdom according to Isaiah 11: 6.7.  not to mention that God's kingdom is without end, and that God's kingdom will be both the heaven and earth, that is , new Heaven and a new earth.

 

There can be no question as to Jesus" death on the cross.  All four Evangelists tell us that Jesus "yielded up his spirit," Death did not conquer Him. He yielded up his life of his own accord. He said I have power to lay down my life and I have power to take it up again...John 10: 17- 18.

 

(2). THE RESURRECTION OF MANKIND

 

Jesus clearly and distinctly taught a resurrection from the grave. " Marvel not at this; for the houris coming in the which all that in the shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they who have done good unto Resurrection of life; and they that have done evil unto Resurrection of DAMATION." " John 5: 28-29

 

This Resurrection is call the GENERAL RESURRECTION of both good in evil, this resurrection is not the rature. so we have a resurrection of the first fruit that happen right after Christ was resurrected which is call (partial Resurrection), and what some call the rature or taken up, and last we have a General Resurrection were all in the grave we be raise.

 

BODIES OF THE SAINTS which slept AROSE, and came out of the graves.  AFTER CHRIST RESURRECTION. Matthew. 27: 50-53. they went into the Holy city (Jerusalem), and appeared unto many." and they are Christ frist fruits to be resurrected after his own resurrectiom. Matt. 27: 50-53. and now have their resurrected bodies with Christ in Heaven.

 

This resurrection by Christ were a partial resurrection, but their will be a Resurrection of both the living and the dead at his second coming. this resurrection is sometime call the RATURE. where some will be cougth up, and others (dead), will be raise from the grave and change and giving their spiritual bodies.
