<p>10:40 <i>Him God raised up on the third day, and gave him to be revealed</i>- God didn't parade His resurrected Son personally before the eyes of the world. But He resurrected Him in order that He should be openly revealed (Gk.). This is the connection between the resurrection and the imperative to preach the resurrected Lord; the great commission is therefore directly in the context of spreading the news that the Lord has risen. So in this sense, the Lord risen and alive was paraded before men- but in the form of His body, the church. The same word is used about Christian preaching in Rom. 10:20: &quot;I was made manifest 'revealed'&quot;. This open revelation was through the witness of the church.</p>
