So also were the fates of many other righteous men, such as Moses, Noah, Joseph, King David, the prophets Elijah and Daniel, the three children in the fiery furnace, the much-suffering Job, and many others who, oppressed by Satanic and human injustice, were ultimately victorious over all and attained glory, having preserved the image of God within them inviolate. For an incident which was prophesied in advance was more convincing to men than one which was not. And in the gospels the holy evangelists noted how even the Lord himself foretold His own resurrection to His disciples on many occasions. And everything came to pass just as it was foretold. Your Lord and Redeemer was tortured, crucified, buried dead, but on the third day He gloriously rose from the dead.
Love is invincible, royal children.
Its homeland lies in heaven, its kingdom lies in eternity, its shadow on earth, its absence in hell. Satan along with sinners foolishly rejoiced over the dead Messiah. Satan acquired his foolishness when he totally lost the image of God within him. The power of this love has no comparisons, no measure ments, no limits. The earth would have exploded, if Christ had not risen from it.
