The resurrection of life is the rising of those who have done good.
Those who have done good to the resurrection of life.
Jesus says the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear His voice and come out. Those who have done good come to the resurrection of life. Those who have done evil come to the resurrection of judgment. The good is not a wage that earns the rising. He has already said the one who hears His word and believes has passed from death to life. The life they rise to is the life He gives. The first resurrection is this company. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in it. The second death has no power over them.
- Life and judgment are two outcomes. Jesus names both.
- Daniel saw some awaking to everlasting life, and some to shame.
- Christ is the firstfruits. Those who are His rise at His coming.
