The disciples asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” Sometimes the truths related to the fulfillment of prophecy are not easy or obvious. So in order to bring clarity to our thinking, this morning I would like to ask you to think about this question of theirs, together with me, so that we might grow in our understanding of the greatness of Christ’s kingdom and His glory. What does the rising from the dead mean? I want to answer this question by showing you what these words imply in their context. There are 3 things which are implied. 1st of all – In these verses Christ is linking His resurrection from the dead with our boasting only in what He has accomplished through us. 2nd – Christ is linking His resurrection to His own sufferings, and to the labors and the sufferings of all of all of his saints. And 3rd – Christ is linking His resurrection to a correct view of the fulfillment of prophecy. I pray that these truths will bring hope and encouragement to all of God’s dear people to persevere in their labors, and better endure their sufferings, for the sake of the glory and the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
