Ver. 43. Then shall the righteous shine] Those that have here lain among the pots, smucht and sullied, shall then outshine the sun in his strength. Shine they shall in their bodies, which shall be clarified and conformed to Christ's most glorious body, the standard, Philippians 3:21; In their souls, those spirits of men made perfectly holy and happy. And in their whole person, as the spouse of Christ. Uxor fulget radiis mariti, she shall shine with the beams of his beauty. Three glimpses of which glory were seen in Moses' face, in Christ's transfiguration, in Stephen's countenance.

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear] q.d. This is worth hearing. Lend both your ears to such a bargain as this is. "What shall we say to these things?" saith the apostle, after he had spoke of glorification, Romans 8:31. q.d. We can never satisfy ourselves in speaking, you should never show yourselves sated in hearing.
