"And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go." (John 11:44 JKV)
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (1 Corinthians 15:32 KJV)
Okay, so you might be wondering how this all works out, seemingly, because there are so many more parts of this that can be the subject of the conversation. If you really want to know, it is precisely that reason why I chose that title, because there are so many different titles, like, 'All Bound up,' for one!
However, if I made that the title, then I would have to also address the fact that he was made loose, and we would be on a completely different subject. Anywho, due the constraints of time, as I must leave this house in 28 minutes, hand and foot speaks of both, bound and loose!
By the way, how exactly did he come forth, being all bound up as he was? Could he have just floated out, as if Jesus caused him to levitate out of the grave? Some say, Jesus performed several miracles in one, as this man was brought back to life, he was healed of his sickness, and he came forth from that tomb, all wrapped up, hand and foot...
"What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is with us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won't he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one - for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then can condemn us? No one - for Christ Jesus died for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God's right hand, pleading for us." (Romans 8:31-34 NLT)
