Just when it looks like the good life is over, God breathes new life into us.
We were raised to New Life in Jesus
Colossians 2:12-14 NIV
“Our old history ends with the cross; our new history begins with the resurrection.”
~Watchman Nee
Eternal life begins the day you call on Jesus to save you
We will be with Him
2 Corinthians 5:6-8 NIV
Death is just a departure, not a destination
We will be like Him
Philippians 3:20-21 NIV
The resurrected body Jesus has today is the kind of resurrected body Jesus will give to us in the future
1 Corinthians 15:52-58 NIV
Things to think about this week
1. Think for a moment about the idea that once you give your life to Christ, eternal life begins. How does that affect the way you think of your life each day?
2. Read 2 Corinthians 5:8. Consider the phrase “home with the Lord”. Does this suggest that our true home is best described as a “place” we live or a Person with whom we live? How does this affect your thinking of heaven?
3. The Bible presents Jesus’ resurrected body as a pattern for our bodies after the resurrection. How does it make you feel when you consider you will share this experience with Jesus?
