And why does he say: I am the Resurrection and not "I raise him up"? Why is it? It is because he assumed man, and he assumed death, so that he who raises up one person by his command would by his own resurrection raise up everyone in himself; so that for those for whom Adam was the pit of death, Christ would be the fountain of life; and so that the following words of the Apostle would be fulfilled: "Just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be brought to life." - St. Peter Chrysologus, Sermon 63, par. 4
