Death & Resurrection: Exploring the Mysteries of Suffering & Hope - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Death & Resurrection: Exploring the Mysteries of Suffering & Hope is about the death and resurrection of Jesus lived out rhythmically in the lives of his followers.  Sometimes Jesus’ followers are in the rhythm of death. Sometimes they are in the rhythm of resurrection.  A painful divorce, lost friendship, unrealized dream, failed business and besetting sin are not badges of shame or reminders of weakness.  They are all opportunities to participate in the power of Jesus' death and resurrection at work in our bodies (2 Corinthians 4:10).   The problem many Christians face is viewing Jesus' death and resurrection as one time, book end events at the beginning and end of the Christian life.  Jesus’ death begins the Christian life through the forgiveness of sins.  Jesus’ resurrection ends the Christian life resulting in resurrection from the dead for all people. It is true, death and resurrection are one time events for Jesus.  They are not one time events for Christians. Death and resurrection form the rhythm of the Christian life, just as breathing and a beating heart form the rhythm of bodily life.  When Christians embrace the rhythm of dying and rising with Jesus, they will find far greater power, comfort, peace and life in all circumstances.
