And in the Bible, there are people who have risen from the dead.
These are Lazarus, the son of the widow of Nain, the daughter of Jairus the ruler of the synagogue, and a woman named Tabitha.

Their resurrection is the resurrection of a physical body that has no choice but to die again, get sick again, and get corrupted again. was bought again as
And while their resurrection means feeling the cold and heat and being resurrected with a body that is limited by time and space, the resurrection of Jesus overcame the cold and heat and resurrected with a body that is not limited by time and space.

And no matter how good people are in this world, they are not as good as us, who have been resurrected. And no matter how happy we are in this world, we are not as happy as we are in the resurrection body.
On Resurrection Day, the angels will be next to us and say, "Hey, you guys are good. I'm envious!" Therefore, the Apostle Paul confessed the overwhelming expectation of the resurrection, saying, “I am trying to reach the resurrection from the dead by any means” (Philippians 3:11).
