Resurrection talk
I’ve been thinking a lot about the resurrection these days.
It’s partly because it’s the Easter season and partly because I’m preaching on the resurrection this Sunday.
As a preparatory exercise I’ve been asking various people what they think ‘resurrection’ means. The responses have been all over the map. Not only is there confusion about Christ’s resurrection there is even more confusion about our future bodily resurrection.
I was raised as a churchgoing, Sunday school attending, Bible believing, Jesus follower. Yet I can’t remember a single sermon or lesson preached or taught on why the bodily resurrection is important.
Needless to say, I’ve been doing a lot of reading and praying in anticipation of this Sunday’s message. I’d hate to make people more confused than they already are. I’d love to leave them with the same jittery excitement I’m feeling this Easter as I ponder the resurrection.
