John Nelson Darby emphasizes the importance of self-examination in the Christian faith, as Paul instructs the Corinthians to assess their spiritual state and the authenticity of their faith. He contrasts the power of Christ that enables believers to overcome sin with the dangers of reprobation, urging the congregation to recognize their reliance on Christ rather than their own merits. Darby highlights that true peace comes from faith in Jesus, not from self-assessment, and encourages believers to seek completeness in their spiritual journey. He also notes the significance of the titles used for Jesus and the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering believers.

A.W. Tozer emphasizes that the resurrection of Christ is not a myth but a historical fact, foundational to the Christian faith. He asserts that the empty tomb signifies a real event, supported by divine intervention, and highlights the power of the resurrected Christ who reigns over heaven and earth. Tozer calls believers to honor the Cross while also grasping the profound implications of the Resurrection for both God and humanity, recognizing it as the culmination of Christ's sufferings.

John Nelson Darby emphasizes the power of Christ as the Resurrection and the Life, illustrating how Jesus confronts death and sin through the raising of Lazarus. Despite being rejected by many, Christ demonstrates His authority over death, showing that He is not only able to heal but also to give life where there is none. The relationship between Jesus and Martha highlights the importance of faith and communion with Christ, as He reassures her that death is not the end for believers. Darby explains that through Christ's resurrection, believers are freed from the dominion of death and sin, and that true life is found in Him. Ultimately, the sermon underscores the transformative power of Christ's love and grace in the face of death.

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the transformative power of having Jesus dwell within our hearts, enabling us to overcome challenges that we could not face alone. This divine presence becomes our source of power, purity, victory, and joy, shifting our focus from our own abilities to what Christ can accomplish through us. Simpson highlights the Apostle Paul's declaration of strength in Christ, reminding us that we can endure all circumstances through Him. The sermon reassures believers that, despite life's adversities, Christ's victory empowers us to remain pure and steadfast. Ultimately, it is through Jesus that we find true victory over sin and trials.
