Below is a religion column by Matt Friedeman:
The bodies of the saints around Jesus’ tomb were changed – from death to life. Just like your life and mine will be, when we recognize the Resurrected Christ for who He really is.
Athanasius: “…by Christ death was destroyed.”
Augustine: “…what the new creature… hopes for regarding itself, it has already in Christ.”
John Wesley: “Christ has risen: therefore rise in the image of God.”
John Calvin: “…his resurrection is the ground-work and pledge of ours.”
