Were Lazarus and the widow's son under Elijah resurrected?
No. The widow's son under Elijah and Lazarus were not resurrected. They were merely brought back to life and later died again. Resurrection began only with Christ, who arose from the dead into the eternal, never to die again. He was the first to be resurrected.
Les explains that the term resurrection is often misused. In Scripture, people raised from the dead miraculously, such as the widow's son under Elijah and Lazarus, were not resurrected; they were merely brought back to life, and they died again. Resurrection speaks of that which only Christ began—He arose from the dead into the eternal, never to die again. When we experience resurrection, it is going to be final, and we will not again have to die and be brought back to life.
