“Christ being
raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him.” Romans
6:9
The resurrection of the Lord Jesus is different from the
resurrection of other people mentioned in the Bible. For example, in calling
Lazarus out of the grave Jesus merely returned him to the life-situation he had
just left. He was even still bound with grave-clothes, and until loosened from
them could not walk freely.
When Peter and John ran to the tomb of Jesus and entered
in, they saw the wound grave clothes lying empty with no body inside. Until Lazarus,
the Lord Jesus had passed out through them unbound. Nothing, absolutely
nothing, could restrict him any more. Before his resurrection, he too was
subject to human limitations; after it, he knew no restriction at all. Death
could not hold him, and now nothing would.
