In death, the separation of the soul from the body, the human body decays and the soul goes to meet God, while awaiting its reunion with its glorified body. God, in his almighty power, will definitively grant incorruptible life to our bodies by reuniting them with our souls, through the power of Jesus' Resurrection.
The main debate over the interpretation of this verse is just how absolute it is. Schweizer feels that "until heaven and earth pass away" means that the Mosaic Law will only last until the end times, and will be superseded in the messianic age. He argues that the opening "for truly I say to you" is "typical of statements concerning the eschaton".
During his ministry, his words, just as God's, will not pass away (Matthew 24:35) and he, like God, forgives sins (Matthew 9:6), but only after the resurrection, his spheres of exercising absolute authority can be said to include all heaven and earth (that is, "the universe"). [2]
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. The New International Version translates the passage as:
Jesus's death was interpreted as a redemptive death "for our sins", in accordance with God's plan as contained in the Jewish scriptures. [ 240 ] [ note 7 ] The significance lay in "the theme of divine necessity and fulfilment of the scriptures", not in the later Pauline emphasis on "Jesus's death as a sacrifice or an expiation for our sins". [ 11 ]
Soon after his death, Jesus' followers believed he was raised from death by God and exalted to divine status as Lord "at God's 'right hand'," [50] which "associates him in astonishing ways with God." [ 51 ] [ m ] According to Hurtado, powerful religious experiences were an indispensable factor in the emergence of this Christ-devotion. [ 53 ]
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "By the expression 'He descended into Hell', the Apostles' Creed confesses that Jesus did really die and through his death for us conquered death and the devil 'who has the power of death' (Hebrews 2:14). In his human soul united to his divine person, the dead Christ went down to the realm of the dead.
