This Week:As we transitionout of the amazingevents of Easter
week, we want totake a short walk with Jesus and hearwhat He has to
say. Join us thisSunday at 10:45am as we walk alongthe Road to
Emmaus.
Next Week:Join us as we walk on the Road toDamascus.
Starting in 2 Weeks:How many times have you said,“hopefully” in
response to something?Hopefully things will turn out ok.Hopefully
that will happen. Hopefully.
What is interesting is that the Bibledoesn!t know the word
“hopefully” butinstead commands us to HOPEFULLY, to live fully in
the finishedwork of Jesus Christ. Will there betough days ahead?
Yes, but theydon!t defeat us because our hope isfully fixed on
heaven above.

At first, it can seem like to claim that theresurrection changes
everything is an exampleof hype, but as you read the Bible and
youunderstand all that flows out of Jesus!sresurrection, it is no
exaggeration to say thatJesus rising from the dead literally
changeseverything. And we can talk for days about theimplications
and things that come out of that, butin the short time I have
today, I want to focus on
Here are just a few things that Jesus!sresurrection tells us
about him, and what itdid for us.
Jesus!s resurrection embodies the newcreation and launches God!s
end-timekingdom into this present world.So when Jesus rose from the
dead, it was thebeginning of a new era in human history. Eversince
Adam and Eve had rebelled against God,the world has been under the
curse. Butthroughout the Old Testament, God hadpromised to redeem
his people and transformcreation itself through a descendant of
Eve. Andin Ezekiel 37, God describes that redemption ofhis people
as an act of resurrection — Godputting flesh and skin on dry bones,
raisingpeople from their graves, and breathing his Spiritinto them.
So because Jesus rose form thedead, God!s new-creation kingdom has
brokeninto this fallen world.
Jesus!s resurrection identifies him as thepromised Davidic King
who rules overcreation.
In Isaiah 11:1–9, God had promised to raise upKing from David!s
line who would be anointedwith God!s Sprit. And he would rule
inrighteousness. And, as a result of his rule,creation would be set
right, the way it was
supposed to be originally. So in his sermon onthe day of
Pentecost at Acts 2:33–36, Peter teus that when Jesus rose from the
dead, it provthat he was this promised descendant of Davidthe
promised King who would come and be theone who rules over creation.
So, because Jesurose from the dead, he proved that he was
theSpirit-anointed King from David!s line,establishing his rule
over all creation.
Jesus!s resurrection identifies him as the
end-time judge of the world.In that same passage in Isaiah 11,
this DavidicKing is said to rule over creation with perfect
justice. He wouldn!t be swayed by people!sappearances or
their wealth or theirsocioeconomic status. But he would
executeperfect justice. So when Paul appears before tmen of Athens
on Mars Hill in Acts 17:30–31, hsays that God has fixed a day to
judge the worAnd the proof that he is going to judge the woris that
he has raised the judge — Jesus Christ— from the dead. Because
Jesus rose from thdead, it establishes him as the one who will
judge all creation at the end of time.
Jesus!s resurrection accomplishes ourspiritual birth and
spiritual resurrection frothe dead.In 1 Corinthians 15:45, Paul
says that throughhis resurrection Jesus became a life-giving
spiNow, this is a really difficult verse to understanbut at least
part of what Paul means is that therisen Jesus is the one who gives
spiritual life tohis people. And in Ephesians 2:4–6, Paul maka
similar point when he says that God made usalive together with
Christ, raised us up with himand seated us with him in the heavenly
placesBecause Jesus rose from the dead, he raises from our
spiritual death into spiritual life.
What Does the
ResurrectionMean?
