Question: In the Old Testament, there is a story of the prophet Elisha bringing back a dead child back to life. You Yourself brought back Lazarus from the dead.
So, what is the difference between these events and Your resurrection from the dead?
God’s answer:
- They were resurrected by someone. I resurrected on My own.
- They woke up to their former life. I woke up to a new life.
- They were the only ones who received life back. When I resurrected, I gave life back to everyone.
- They rose from physical death. Jesus rose from true death. He is the only one who was able to overcome true death.
