The Resurrection of the Saints
Philippians 3:11
If by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead.


(ἐξανάστασις) of the saints: —

I. IS DISTINGUISHED FROM THAT OF THE WICKED — by its glory (ver. 21). Daniel 12:2 — By its precedence (1 Thessalonians 4:16; 1 Corinthians 15:23). Revelation 20:5 — By its results (John 5:29).

II. Is an object of Christian ambition — requiring faith — consecration — effort.

III. WILL AMPLY REPAY EVERY SACRIFICE — of self-gratification — earthly advantage — life.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
