H. Issuing in the Following Items

As we have seen in this message, Christ's resurrection issued in the following items:

  1. The incarnated Christ becoming the compound, consummated, and all-inclusive life-giving Spirit.
  2. The preeminent Christ becoming the Firstborn from among the dead to germinate God's new creation and to be the Head of the Body.
  3. The only begotten Son of God being begotten to be the firstborn Son of God in both divine and human natures.
  4. Many sons of God to be the household of God as the kingdom of God:
    1. As the many brothers of Christ, forming the church.
    2. As the many members of Christ, constituting the Body of Christ.
    3. As the many grains of wheat, forming the one bread.
    4. As the one corporate seed to be His continuation to extend His days and to carry out the pleasure of God according to God's New Testament economy.
  5. The all-inclusive Christ being all the members and in all the members of the new man.

All these things were produced by the resurrection of Christ. This is the revelation of the all-inclusive Christ according to the holy Word. Although Isaiah wrote only a few lines concerning Christ in His resurrection, his writing comprises all the above-mentioned items as the explanation, the definition, of Christ's resurrection given by the apostle Paul.
