"He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

RESURRECTION VS. RESUSCITATION

Luke 23:53; 24:1-9

Following contracted COVID so badly on 23rd March 2020, where I possibly had the priviledged to be buried with highly publisized from a highly profiled then-Prime Minster, Boris Johnson. It was as if the apocalyptic scenario where the rolled haystack crawling by the dictates of the scorching east wind furrowed the duned road of Golder’s Green. But on the 2nd pf April a day pror to my 45th Birthday, I was swimming on my own sweat that kept me afloat of my sanity that I have been sent off from the door of doomed. Tapping all my body parts reconfirming the intactness other than drenched hair from profuse diaphoresis. I then realized this spared second life of mine will be dedicated to my full service to THE ONE WHO GAVE ME ANOTHER EARTHLY LIFE by cursing my nursing profession that embarked me and hitched the teachng vocation, and that I became an instant Resucitation Instructor. Before I have to master the skills and inject an ample dose of humour into a grim subject of DEATH, it then led me first to this mortal philosophy of clinging to the edge of the sword of existence,  The Chain of Survival,  it depicts the critical actions required to treat life-threatening emergencies, including heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, and foreign body airway obstruction. The chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

  • bodily and physical composition
  • spiritual indwelling.
  • Seal of Christian faith: Romans 6:9: “We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.” Romans 8:34: “Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.”

  • 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

2) That JESUS defeated death.

  • ROMANS 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.    23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

(We no longer have to fear death because Christ has truimphed over it.

  • 2 CORINTHIANS 15: 55-57 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

3) THAT BELIEVERS ARE UNITED WITH CHRIST.

  • 2 CORINTHIANS 4:14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

(Union with Christ means that when God looks at us, He no longer sees our trespasses or unrighteousness for crucified Christ’s righteousness propitiated in us. Anothr illustration is the marriage)

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Psalm 16:10-11
