Christ's resurrection is the display of God's glory as regards man, the fullest answer to all unbelief, and the knell of Satan's power.
Never was a truth better attested. If Thomas illustrated the difficulties even of believers, Saul of Tarsus is the best sample of opposition on the part of earthly religion. But he was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, and the sight of a risen, ascended Lord becomes the end of his old life (closed in grace by God's judgment in the cross), the beginning of what was new and everlasting.
