QUESTION 53

OF CHRIST'S RESURRECTION

(In Four Articles)

We have now to consider those things that concern Christ's

Exaltation; and we shall deal with (1) His Resurrection; (2) His

Ascension; (3) His sitting at the right hand of God the Father;

(4) His Judiciary Power. Under the first heading there is a fourfold

consideration: (1) Christ's Resurrection in itself; (2) the quality

of the Person rising; (3) the manifestation of the Resurrection;

(4) its causality. Concerning the first there are four points of

inquiry:

(1) The necessity of His Resurrection;

(2) The time of the Resurrection;

(3) Its order;

(4) Its cause.
