THE meaning is: I beleeue that the same life which is in Iesus Christ, shall be reuea∣led also in mee: Coloss. 3. Your life is hid with Christ in God When Christ our life shall be made manifest, then shall you also be made manifest in glorie. The name of euerlasting life comprehendeth in it all that same happi∣nesse and gladnesse both of soule and body, which the soules enioye by and by after this
life through Iesus Christe, and which also the bodies ioyned to the soules shall enioye with them, when they shall be taken vp into the aire that they may bee alwayes with the Lorde. 1. Thess. 4. I confesse not onely this euerlasting life: but I trust that it is prepared & proper to me. Christ confirmeth this prorietie and fee∣ling begun thereof, which a ful fruition shall follow, saying, Verily, verily, I say vnto you, he that heareth my wordes and beleeueth on him that sent me, hath euerlasting life, and shal not come into iudgement, but he hath passed from death to life. Iohn. 5. vers. 24 The Apostle out of the Prophete Esay. 1. Cor. 1. doeth so sha∣dowe out the full fruition and the enioying thereof, as which can not be comprehended by any thought or vnderstanding in this life, whi∣che the eye hath not seene &c. There is a nota∣ble picture of it in the Apocalips, chapter 21. where amongest other thinges he saith, I haue not seene a temple in it: for the omnipotent Lorde is the temple thereof, that is the lambe. Neither doeth this citie neede sunne or moone to shine in it. For the glorie of God hath en∣lightened it, and the lambe is the light thereof. For God to whome in Christe wee shall then bee so fully ioyned and knit as the fountaine of all goodnes, that beyond him there is no∣thing to be desired, to the ende wee might bee truelie happie, as hee saith to the father of all nations, and so to all beleeuers Genesis 15. I am thy greate rewarde: and Psalme 16. Dauid
saith, Iehouah is my portion. This fountayne doeth plentifully powre out it selfe vppon vs after the resurrection of our fleshe, as the A∣postle teacheth that God shall bee all in all.
