6But especially in his Resurrection, (which we are now to think of by reason of the day, and it is not amiss to take all occasions) ⟨p. 39⟩especially then, the Spirit of life that had sanctified Christ, and quickened him, and enriched his nature, and supported him, and done all; that Spirit of life quickened the dead body of Christ, And he was mightily declared to be the Son of God, by the Spirit of sanctification, Rom. 1.4.2 by his Resurrection from the dead. The Spirit of life raised him from the dead, and put an end to all that misery that he had undergone before for our sakes. For until his resurrection, there was (as it were) some conflict, with some enemies of Christ, either with Satan, or the world, or with death it self: he lay under death three days, until Christs body was raised, our enemies were not overcome, Gods wrath was not fully satisfied, (it was not declared to be satisfied at least:) for he being our surety, till he came out of the grave, we could not know that our sins were satisfied for. But now, when the Spirit of life in Christ comes, and quickens that body of his in the grave,3 and so doth justify us, as it is, Ro. 4. He dyed for our sins, and rose again for our justification; that is, by the Spirit of life in Christ, quickening his dead body, he declared that we are fully discharged from our sins, because he was fully discharged from our sins; being our surety, he showed by his Resurrection, that he was fully discharged from all that he took upon him. When a man comes out of prison, that is a surety, his very coming out of prison shows, that he hath a full ⟨p. 40⟩discharge of all the debt he undertook to pay: so the Spirit of life, raising Christs body the third day; manifestly declared, that the debt he took on him, was fully discharged: and so as he dyed for sin, to satisfy Gods Justice for them; so he rose again for our justification, to show that he had a full discharge for all.
