1For the worthiness and power of the person that rose: For, for this cause it was impossible, that Christ should be held of death, as Peter testifieth: and that, 1. Because Christ is the beloved and only begotten Son of God: The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hands. So God loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son. &c. 2. Christ is true God, and author of life: I am the resurrection, and life. 2As the Father hath life in himself, so likewise hath he given to the Son to have life in himself. As the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them, so the Son quickeneth whom he will. I give unto them eternal life. It had been absurd then, that he should not be raised, but sleep in death, who giveth life to others. 3. Christ is righteous in himself, and, by dying, satisfied for our sins, which were imputed to him. Now where sin is not, there doth not death reign any more. With one offering hath he consecrated for ever them that are sanctified. 3In that he died, he died once to sin; but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.
