In taking a crown of thorns, by following Jonah into the heart of the earth for three days and three nights, by having His heel bruised as He crushes the head of the serpent, Christ is finalizing the war his grandfather David started. In experiencing the trauma of having body and soul torn apart, Jesus assumes every covenant curse that God ever threatened against His people. Because his payment was perfect, and because death and the men who sentenced Jesus to death couldn't have the final say, the Spirit vindicates Jesus by knitting His body and soul back together, resurrecting Him out of the grave. By stepping out of the world of sin and corruption, and into a garden of new life, Jesus establishes the new order in which death no longer reigns. He is pleased to work this new reality out gradually and slowly, starting with the new birth of the soul, and culminating in us following our older brother out of the grave and into a new heaven and new earth, body and soul knit back together, to glorify Him and enjoy Him forever.
