APRIL 23rd
THREE-FOLD RESURRECTION

     Man is a triune being.  We are spirit; we have a soul; and we live in a body. 
From the heavenly perspective, there are only two men in the earth.  Regardless of race, color or creed, every human being is either in one or the other of these two men, Adam or Christ.  Adam, the first man, is of the earth and he is earthy.  The second man, the Lord Jesus Christ, is the Lord of heaven (First Corinthians 15:47). 

      According to Romans 6:23, we have clearly seen that Adam got paid, and we all experienced the effect of the wages for his sin (spiritual death).  Through Christ we have been redeemed or bought out of that condition of spiritual death and restored to Father’s Presence and favor.  This wondrous Plan of Redemption is being viewed through the layers of Divine Accomplishment found in the three instances where Jesus raised the dead during His earthly ministry.  There are literally volumes of riches concerning our restoration contained in each instance.  There are numerous three-fold unveilings in these three miracles which are easily applied to our triune being if seen through the Spirit.  In the stages of spiritual maturity, we go from being a child to a young man then on to a full grown man.  Whether our natural gender is male or female it is all Christ at this point and none of those carnal attributes matter at all.
