For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
All Commentaries on Romans 14:9 Go To Romans 14
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Look how Christ takes care of the dead. If he is concerned about the departed, it is clear that he will be concerned about the living as well. For nothing escapes his lordship…. Christ put down his own life for our salvation. Having gone to so much trouble and expense, he is not likely to consider us as being of no value.
