Chapter IV.—Must the deformed rise
deformed?
Well, they say, if then the flesh rise, it must
rise the same as it falls; so that if it die with one eye, it must rise
one-eyed; if lame, lame; if defective in any part of the body, in this
part the man must rise deficient. How truly blinded are they in the eyes
of their hearts! For they have not seen on the earth blind men seeing
again, and the lame walking by His word. All things which the Saviour
did, He did in the first place in order that what was spoken concerning
Him in the prophets might be fulfilled, “that the blind should
receive sight, and the deaf hear,”2618
and so
on; but also to induce the belief that in the resurrection the flesh
shall rise entire. For if on earth He healed the sicknesses of the flesh,
and made the body whole, much more will He do this in the resurrection,
so that the flesh shall rise perfect and entire. In this manner, then,
shall those dreaded difficulties of theirs be healed.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
