About this listen

 On Easter Day we enter into the Christian calendar, a season of Resurrection. As the body of Christ, in order to follow Christ, we follow as closely as possible the life of Jesus Christ (his life teachings and mission (redemptive purposes).[1] So we will study the topic of “Resurrection and Our Concerns” k'g?yfg / xfd|f] ;/f]sf/
For the next 7 weeks, until Pentecost, we will focus on the various aspects of the Resurrection, and it’s meaning for our lives in the 21st century. Resurrection is often thought of in terms of a historical event in the life of Jesus Christ, and people debate over the validity, possibility, and its historical meaning, etc. But, as NT Wright says that Resurrection is not simply about proving a historical event or its logic, rather in his words, “The message of Easter is that God’s new world has been unveiled in Jesus Christ and that you are now invited to belong to it.” NT Wright.
Resurrection is a worldview matter, thus needs to be set in our lives Operating System. Its’ something in your mind and heart’s eyes, a telescope to see the world with a particular scope, an angle, a perspective (with its colors), like James Webb Telescope cameras that’s observing the universe out there far outside our eye’s sight. NT Wright says, “Resurrection is a view from future into our present”. It’s a reliable account of what God has been cooking up since the creation, mystery now unveiled to us through Christ and his church. Wow, a whole new worldview, a perspective to consider (see Romans 8). Now we can read the whole Bible anew, from Christ’s Resurrection and the New Creation perspective.
We will do that in this series, possibly under these following topics, I call “Resurrection Curriculum”: a. Resurrection planted a seed of eternity in our hearts. Jesus said “I am the resurrection and life…” b. Resurrection of Jesus has given us a new worldview, a scope for all of life and world-view. c. Resurrection of Jesus is a deposit, guarantee of things promised, now with a guarantee. d. Resurrection is a signpost, showing us a direction towards God’s future New Creation. e. “Hope is what you get when you realize that a different worldview is possible, the same worldview that is demanded by the resurrection of Jesus is the shift that will enable us to transform the world.” (75) f. “We believe in the resurrection of the body…” as we declare in the Apostles Creed.
