“To Rise From the Grave — What True Resurrection Means”

What does resurrection really mean? It is not about dead bodies rising from the earth.

Hello everyone for this morning I went to go pick some fresh spring flowers for you to say happy spring and I’m gonna read a passage from the book world beyond world by Teacher Woo Myung this passage is called to rise from the grave certain religions believe that resurrection refers to the revival of the body in other words they believe that after a person has died.

Gone to his grave it is from within his body that he is resurrected from the grave even mummies long ago were made based upon the belief that they would live again and so the bodies of the dead were prepared so that they would not decompose but the truth of all truths is that all forms of matter in this world have a limited lifespan.

Will thus eventually disappear rising from the grave does not mean that decayed corpses will come out from their graves with all of their bodily features regenerated it is his own conceptions and habits that are a person’s grave and it is because he lives inside himself that he is in his own grave a person who has come out from within himself.

Has become one with truth a person who has escaped from his grave and lives eternally with freedom is the person who has risen from the grave therefore resurrection is when oneself no longer exists it is when one has become united with the living truth and has thus been reborn you.
