Episode 199: Audio Library - The Mount Everest of Scripture and of Time (Chapter 6)

In “Its Sequel — The Resurrection,” J. M. Davies leads listeners beyond the darkness of Calvary into the radiant dawn of the empty tomb. The Cross, he reminds us, cannot be separated from its sequel—the Resurrection—because together they form the complete triumph of redemption.Davies portrays the Resurrection not merely as a miracle of power, but as the divine seal upon Christ’s finished work. It is God’s public declaration that sin has been judged, death defeated, and salvation secured forever. From the sorrow of the Cross arises the song of eternal victory.With reverent insight, Davies draws on Scripture to show that the Resurrection validates every promise of God: it confirms the deity of Christ, guarantees the believer’s justification, and becomes the pledge of our own future glory. The risen Christ is both proof and promise—proof of redemption accomplished, and promise of life everlasting.This chapter lifts the heart from Golgotha to the garden tomb, from grief to glory, from death to life. It is a triumphant close to the message of the Cross—a message crowned with resurrection joy.
