Just a Thought: God is One. All that Jesus experienced on Calvary, in the tomb, and in the resurrection, was shared by the entire Godhead. His death was not death from the Godhead, but death within the Godhead. The triune God did not cease to be God. Throughout the events of Holy Week Jesus remained fully human and fully God. His death was the death of the incarnate God, the One who is fully human and fully God. It was a human death and a divine death. In Christ, God took death into Himself. In the tomb God took death into the bowels of creation that it might be defeated in all of creation. In the resurrection God swallowed up those dead in Christ into His life. On that first Easter morning, when the Spirit of God who raised Jesus Christ from the dead called Him forth from the tomb, that same Spirit called forth into eternal life all that believe in Him. Our resurrection was born then and there. Because He lives, we live, now and forever more. Christ has risen; He has risen indeed. JDJ # 428
