As we were when we went down. Exactly, resurrection…Just—just think of this. This book falls to the floor, and I take this book, a different book, and replace it. That isn’t resurrection. Resurrection is “bring up the same one that went down.” Was Jesus resurrected? Did they know Him? Was He standing with them, the same Jesus? “And this same Jesus that was taken up, will come again in like manner as you seen Him go.” The resurrection is just like when you die; that’s how you rise up. You die as a human in flesh; you rise as a human in flesh. That’s just exactly. So the resurrection is just the same. We could spend another two hours on it, but we’d better not get started.
