The Ten

JULY 23, 2024

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 3:20

 Recommended Reading: John 11:40-44

Ten people in human history have returned to life after dying: the widow of Zarephath’s son (1 Kings 17), the Shunammite woman’s son (2 Kings 4), a nameless man (2 Kings 13), the boy in Nain (Luke 7), Jairus’ daughter (Luke 8), Lazarus (John 11), Tabitha (Acts 9), Eutychus (Acts 20), and let’s summarize as ninth, those involved in the mysterious resurrections at the crucifixion (Matthew 27).

The tenth is in a category all to Himself. Jesus rose with a deathless, imperishable, eternal, glorified body. He Himself is the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25).

The resurrections in the past point us forward not backward. The risen Christ is with us now and we enjoy His fellowship. In addition, we rejoice in the sure and certain hope of our own coming resurrection and everlasting life (Philippians 3:20). Not only are we anticipating the resurrection to come, but we also have the joy of living every day in the presence and power of our resurrected Lord!

The resurrection…is not a doctrine to be pondered but an invitation to experience the living Christ in your life.
