Our intention is not to be flip or irreverent, but to point out as clearly as possible that in the work of raising the dead, whether from physical death, requiring resurrection, or a death in trespasses and in sins, it is the life-giving voice of the Son of God that accomplishes that task. The dead never "came to Jesus" and today, dead men don't "come to Jesus." Christ always went to the dead. The bible clearly teaches us the natural illustration is the example for the spiritual. We don't chose our parents, we don't participate in our natural birth, and we don't perform conditions to be made alive. All praise honor and glory in the new birth goes to Jesus, as will all praise, honor and glory go to Him for our physical resurrection from the dead.
