Christ be not risen then is our Preaching vain and your faith is vain also ye are yet in your sins grievous consequences but the Lord is risen indeed and we may now stand under his arms and make this bold challenge with the Apostle 8 Ro. 38. who is he that condemneth It is Christ that died yea rather that is risen again 3. Christs Resurrection assures us of ours 27 Mat. 53. after this many dead bodies of the Saints appeared alive 1 Cor. 5. c. 20. Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept for since by man came death by man came also the Resurrection of the dead for as in Adam all dye even so in Christ shall all be made alive This is that joyful Anthem that welcomes in this Festival Holy Job seeing Easter as Abraham did Christmas-day 8 Jo. 56. many hundred years before they were by faith cheerfully concludes his Resurrection from the Resurrection of his Redeemer 19 ch 25. Victurum me certâ fide credo liberâ vo●e profiteor quia Redemptor Meus resurget qui inter Impiorum manus occubuit with assured faith I believe and with free courage confess that rise I shall in as much as my Redeemer shall rise who is to dye by the hands of wicked men saith St. Gregory on these very words Eâdem catenâ revincta est Christi Resurrectio nostra Christs Resurrection and ours are linked with one and the same chain If the Head be above the water the members cannot perish otherwise they may 1 Cor. 15. c. 16.17 Now we may insult over death 1 Cor. 15. ch 55. since Christ risen thence hath given death it self it's deaths wound 13 Hosea 14. O Death I will be thy Death Death now it self hath its Epitaph the Grave its Tomb-Stone Nor is it a small thing for Christians to hear of their Resurrection since it is the Ground-work of all their hope and happiness 1 Co. 15. v. 19. Our Souls are here burdened with a sinful sickly loathsome body But at the Resurrection this corruptible shall put on incorruption 1 Co. 15.53 this mortal shall put on immortality this weak dishonourable dust shall be raised in glory and power v. 43. Well may then be rehearsed with abundance of joy a Surrexit Dominus the Lord is risen since such infinite benefit doth arise to us from his Resurrection Application Is the Lord risen indeed 1. Let us be risen with him Then is he risen indeed to us when our affections are risen with him 3 Coloss 1 2. Christs Resurrection must work in us a Resurrection to grace 6 Rom. 11. before it can work for us a Resurrection to Glory 20 Rev. 6. Blessed and Holy is he that hath part in the first Resurrection on whom the second death shall have no power 2. Let us strive to find Christ this day risen with the same haste as Peter and John 20. Jo. 3 4. the same care v. 11. constancy and rapture of Joy v. 16. as Mary by the same means as the Disciples in the verse following our Text viz. Breaking of Bread in the Sacrament Here we may with Thomas 20 Jo. 25. thrust our hands into the print of the nails and the wounds in his side to convince us of the truth of his Resurrection I know not Our Church will not at this time especially excuse us from this duty and cettainly the life every worthy Communicant finds in Christ fed on here cannot but sufficiently inform him that he is alive And having thus found him we cannot but be Glad 20 Jo. 20. Glad though Christs rising saith Bishop Andrews in his 2 Ser. on the Resur p. 397. did no way concern us or we that yet 1. In that a Man one of our own flesh and blood hath gotten such a victory even for Humanities sake 2. Then that one that is Innocent hath quit himself so well for Innocencies sake 3. Thirdly in that he hath foyled a common enemy for amityes sake 4. Fourthly in that he hath wiped away the Ignominie of his fall with the glory of his Ri●●ng again for Vertue and Valours sake for all these we have cause to rejoyce but chiefly ●●nce his Resurrection was for us 4 Ro. v. ult how ought our souls to overflow with gratitude 'T is the peculiar faith of a Christian to believe Christ Risen Mortuum esse Christum pagani etiam credunt resurrexisse verò propriafides est Christianorum St. Austin and the property peculiar to this faith to create in us Joy for his Resurrection Lord we believe help thou our unbelief O Heavenly Father who didst raise thy Son from death raise our dull Souls to a due thankfulness for this mercy It is meet right and our bounden duty that we should at all times and in all places give thanks unto thee Almighty Everlasting God But chiefly are we bound to praise thee for the glorious Resurrection of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord for he is the very Paschal Lamb that was offered for us and hath taken away the Sin of the world who by his death hath destroyed death and by his Rising to life hath restored to us everlasting life Therefore with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of Heaven we land and magnifie thy glorious name evermore praising thee and saying Holy Holy Holy Lord God of Hosts Heaven and Earth are full of thy glory Glory be to thee O Lord most High FIFTH SERMON ON Holy-Thursday OR The Ascension 4 Ephes 10.
