Easter (33)
  1. Peter admonishes every soul baptized into Christ Jesus to strive for the new life by the Spirit, resulting in a radically new morality, the ethic of Christ’s Kingdom. That is the new normal.
  2. The new life Christ opened for us in His resurrection, the new life into which we were baptized is a life of faith.
  3. This is the account God has been directing to accomplish the recovery of His global Kingdom and reestablish its rule through Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
  4. Despite our best efforts to avoid him, King Jesus remains very much unavoidable.
  5. If we humans willingly operate by the testimony of men in all sorts of matters, then how much more should we readily embrace the testimony of God concerning the death, resurrection, ascension, and rule of His Son?
  6. Love, as it pertains to divine qualities, is an unconditional love, love to the loveless and unlovable, divine love. God is agape. God is love.
  7. If Christ is the holiness, righteousness, salvation, truth, grace, resurrection life, eternal life, and perfection of God, then the spirit of the world is the antithesis of all those.
  8. Just as the grave could not hold the Lord of Life, neither could the calendar contain Easter to just one Sunday.
  9. What kind of shepherd does God provide? The answer, of course, starts and ends with Christ.
  10. Resurrection life is not something cast into the future. The future is now.
  11. Preachers are called to consider how the resurrection reverberates in the present but also the future.
  12. In the next three weeks, Saint John will explore some of the implications of the resurrection, especially for Christians as they consider how to live in the present and what is in store for us in the future.
