Resurrection People

This is Episode 57 of The Jesus Society Podcast, and because this coming Sunday is Resurrection Sunday (Easter), I thought we should talk a bit about the resurrection of Jesus.

This coming Sunday, throughout the world, Christians will celebrate what we’ve come to know as Easter, and event that centers around the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. But most of us really don’t understand the significance of that event. But the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead stands as Christianity’s most remarkable and most important event. In one act, Christianity is transformed from a nice idea to a powerful, life-giving, world-changing revolution. The resurrection is what gives Christianity its power, AND its hope.

Join me today as we discuss:

1. The resurrection as THE sign of the new creation.

2. Why the resurrection is NOT about going to heaven when we die.

3. What is heaven, really?

4. How the resurrection demonstrates the intersection of heaven and earth.

5. Why the resurrection is the START of something awesome!

6. What it means to be resurrection people.

7. The fruit of the resurrection - unity and holiness

8. The fruit of the resurrection - justice and peace

9. The fruit of the resurrection - wise stewardship of creation

10. Already . . . but not yet.

 

God’s good world, spoiled by hostile and destructive forces, is now going to be remade. And it started when Jesus walked out of that tomb. And that’s why Christianity is the best thing on the market. Evil and darkness and despair do not have the last word.  The last word is  resurrection!!
