Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. – John 14:19
He always lived. There never was a time when He was not. “Before the hills were brought forth I was there,” saith He. The eternal Wisdom of God is from everlasting. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God, and the Word was with God. The same was in the beginning with God.” The life, however, which we think is intended in the text, is not His divine life, His life as Deity, but His life as man, His life as Mediator between God and man. In that life He lives. We needed not to be assured of His divine life: but seeing that, as a Mediator He died, it was necessary to assure us that as a Mediator He descended into the tomb; it is well for us to be assured that as a Mediator He rose again from His grave, and now lives at the right hand of the Father, no more to bleed and die.
Jesus Christ at this time lives in His proper manhood. He lives as to His soul: His human soul is as it was on earth. He lives as to His human body. He is a man before the throne; and I have no doubt that He wears the symbol, of course, mightily glorified, of his sufferings.
“Looks like a Lamb that had been slain.
And wears His priesthood still.”
That very Christ, who did once as a babe lie upon His mother’s breast, and who afterwards trod the waves of Gennesaret: who, after His resurrection, ate a piece of broiled fish and of honeycomb-that very Christ is now before the eternal throne. In very soul and body the man Christ Jesus is there. He lives. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
