The Spiritual Resurrection

1. Then, as the apostle in fact said, “We suffered with him, and we rose with him, and we ascended to heaven with him.”

2. Now if we visibly live in this world, we wear this world.

3. We are his radiant beams, and we continue with him until our setting, that is, our death in this life.

4. By him we are drawn to heaven, like beams by the sun, constrained by nothing.

5. This is the spiritual resurrection, swallowing up the soul just as it does the flesh.
