The Harp of God

CHAPTER VII
37/46

The Scriptures tell us that God miraculously hid the body of Moses (Deuteronomy 34:6; Jude 9); and Jehovah could just as easily have preserved and hid away the body of Jesus.

Jesus being resurrected a divine being, the express image of the Father, we are sure that no man could look upon him and live.

(Exodus 33:20) Christ Jesus the Lord in heaven is a glorious being, the fairest of ten thousand, and altogether lovely, and no human eye has ever seen him since glorified, except the vision miraculously given to St.Paul.
[293]The purpose of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus when understood is further proof that he was raised divine.

As we have seen, the ransom must be provided by a perfect human being going into death.

This ransom-price, namely, the value of a perfect human life, must be presented in heaven itself as a sin-offering on behalf of mankind.
Unless this was done, the ransom would be of no avail and there would be no purchase of the human race from death and its results.
