Baptism And Resurrection

Si enim consurrexistis cum Christo, quae sursum sunt quaerite, ubi Christus est ad dexteram Dei sedens. Hos cum Christo resurrexisse asserit in baptismo, qui supercoelestia cogitant, ubi sedes est Christi, ubi Deus Pater Filio suo tradidit dextram, ut regnet et judicet; judicis enim in sinistra sedere non est. Resurrectio tamen duas habet formas, ut primo anima de terris resugat ad coelos, deinde recepto corpore, resurgat raptus obviam Christo. Ambrosiaster, Commentaria In Epistolam ad Colossenses, Caput III Source: Migne PL 17.434a

For if you are resurrected with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of the Father. 1 He asserts that they have been resurrected with Christ in baptism who think on heavenly things, where is the seat of Christ, where God the Father gives to His Son the right hand side, that He rule and judge, for it is not of a judge to sit on the left. However, the resurrection has two forms: firstly the soul rises up from the earth to heaven, then with the reception of the body, it rises up again borne off to be before Christ. Ambrosiaster, Commentary On The Letter to The Colossians, Chapter 3 1 Colos 3.1
