Jesus does not rise to share again in the ills and weariness of humanity. Resurrection and Ascension are inseparably connected. The Resurrection of Christ declares His Sonship. All that distinguishes Christianity and makes it worth believing, or mighty, is inseparably connected with the Resurrection. In our text it is chiefly the first which is made prominent. All three of these aspects are plainly declared in Paul's writings. By degrees they discerned that so transcendent a fact bore in itself a revelation of what would become the experience of all His followers beyond the grave, and a symbol of the present life possible for them. To them all the Resurrection of Jesus was first of all a historical fact appreciated chiefly in its bearing on Him. He believed that he had seen Jesus on the road to Damascus, and it was that appearance which revolutionised his life, turned him from a persecutor into a disciple, and united him with the Apostles as ordained to be a witness with them of the Resurrection. As has been well said, the gospel of Paul is an interpretation of the significance of the life and work of Jesus based upon the revelation to him of Jesus as the risen Christ. They are the transcript of his life's experience. It is a great mistake to treat Paul's writings, and especially this Epistle, as mere theology. 13)ĭeclared to be the Son of God with power, by the resurrection of the dead.'-ROMANS i.
