ABETTERRESURRECTION

A BETTER RESURRECTION

There are many scriptures which point out the fact of a distinction being made among Christians. It would seem that there are stages of development, or maturity within the community of believers.

Without giving biblical references for them, let me give you a few examples:
There are: The Brethren of the Lord, and the Congrega¬tion. There are: Mount Zion, and Jerusalem. There are: the Beloved, and the Little Sister. There are: The Overcomers, and those who do not overcome. There are more examples of the distinction, but these are enough for you to know where I am coming from.

Now let's look at Hebrews 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

1 Cor 15, the resurrection chapter, tells us plainly that there will be degrees of glory in the resurrection. It seems to be closely connected to the degree of maturity which we arrive at in our journey through life. (Overcoming, if you please.)
