First, 1Jesus Rose again, it implieth Christs power, Viz. That Jesus Christ rose by his own power. It is not said, Jesus was raised, which might have spoken Him passive only in his Resurrection, but Jesus rose, which speaketh Him active; namely, that he rose as a Conqueror by his own strength; as Himself professeth, I have power to lay down my life, and I have power to take it again. 2What power that was Rom. 1.4. will tell us, declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the Resurrection from the dead. It is true, it is elsewhere said that Christ was raised from the dead by the Glory of the Father, Rom. 6.4. And likewise that he was quickened by the Spirit, Pet. 3.18. To show that neither the Father nor the Holy Ghost were excluded from a joint share and concurrence in his Resurrection, but here as elsewhere it is said also, that Christ rose, to show that he was not merely passive in his Resurrection, as the Children of the Resurrection are, but that he rose also by the mighty power that was seated in his own Royal person.
