Resurection.

Spirit hath not flesh and bones - Tim Keller

Idea of bodily resurection is biblical. And there are many exsamples of Christ after resurection eating, talking and doing stuff whit his discibles.

Jesus is risen from the dead. As Christians and as believers we have been taught this. But I want to pose a question. Do we really, I mean really believe that he is actually and bodily resurected? I do believe this.

Why I post this question? Because at times I feel like that people not even believers really grasp what the resurection means. Because if and when the resurection is true it radically changes everything. This means our journey is not just towards some vague spiritual after life but towards real eternal life. Towards concrete bodily eternity in new heaven and earth having our bodies trandformed into resurection bodies.

This idea of concrete and touchable life that goes on after life ends as we know it is the core essence of our faith. And whole faith also stands in the premise of resurection. And believing and really deebly understanding this radically shapes everything we do. This is why our faith has power and why it is so dangerous in perspective of some people.

Listen the sermon of Keller on the subject and share your thoughs.

He is indeed risen and lives today.

I am so glad to know that there is life beyond the grave. Most people wonder and fear what will happen to them when they pass away. Jesus gave us all hope and well being right after our passing away to the other world. Looking forward to see it over yonder. If Jesus has risen from the dead, we shall also rise along with Him.

Mary Magdalene was delivered from seven devils that tormente her all her life. She was at the tomb waiting to see Jesus. An angel of the Lord said. He is not here. He is risen. O what a wonderful news to hear. Our Savior and Lord is alive forever more.

If Jesus did not resurrected from the dead then our faith would be worthless. Jesus is alive and well and He is coming soon to take us all home to heaven.

Indeed. I happy to see that people are believing. Resurection is real and trouh that we have life as well.

I posted this thread because I don't see much people even those who claim to be Christians to actually and conretely believing in resurection. Exspecially the church in my country seems to ingnore the whole resurection. Yet in it's radicalitty it shoud be number one topic in the church.

Sadly enough people nowdays seem to bypass the whole idea of resurection whitout thinking it at all. Because once we start to think about dead being conretely raised from grave and made alive and believe it to be true it will affect our reality. It will radically change things.

As it is I pray that people would give more thougth on this subject. And that those of us who do believe could life out our life in a way that proclaims resurection. And to give people the good news, not only Jesus died for you but he also rose from the dead.

I believe, I trust, I wait day and night for Jesus return. I am praying for those who do not. Thanks for praying.
