Regarding the Lord’s resurrection, there are two

Regarding the Lord's resurrection, there are two main aspects: the objective aspect and the sub­ jective aspect. In this booklet we shall cover the objective aspect of Christ's resurrection.

GOD'S VINDICATION

AND APPROVAL OF THE MAN-SAVIOR AND HIS ALL-INCLUSIVE

REDEMPTIVE WORK

The first point of the objective aspect of the Man-Savior's resurrection is that it was God's vindication and approval of the Man-Savior and His all-inclusive redemptive work. By resurrec­ tion God vindicated and approved the Man-­ Savior; God also vindicated and approved the Lord's redemptive work.

According to the four Gospels, there was much criticism, especially from the Jewish lead­ ers, of Christ's Person and deeds. Concerning His Person, some said that He was a Samaritan (John 8:48), that He was beside Himself, that is, mentally ill (Mark 3:21), and that He was demon possessed (John 8:49). Furthermore, His works were condemned by the Pharisees as a blas­ phemy to God. The religious leaders surely de­ nied, rejected, and condemned the Man-Savior.
