Elm Park United Methodist Church

But here's what's interesting. He doesn't say, get up. Stand on your feet. He doesn't say that. Instead, the Greek word that's translated here as get up is the same word, it's the same word that the angels used to tell the women at Jesus' tomb that Jesus got up. So Jesus is basically saying, not stand up. Jesus is saying, be raised up. Jesus is saying not saying, get on your feet. Jesus is saying, be resurrected. Jesus is saying, come to life. Come to life.
