“if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.”
Philippians 3:11 KJV
When confronted with death, I actually come face to face with my own resurrection! No resurrection implies no hope for anyone beyond the grave; it makes no difference whether you believed that you were included in Christ’s death or not. If our hope in Christ was restricted to only benefit us in this life then imagine the severity of our disappointment if it all had to come to an abrupt end when we died. However this very moment the risen Christ represents everyone who has ever died; exactly like the first fruit represents the complete harvest. The same mankind who died in a man was raised again in a Man. In Adam all died; in Christ all are made alive. Worthy is the Lamb!
