“The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in us right now. He’s raised your spirit to life, and he’s also in the process of raising your relationship with God up into greater and greater intimacy. He’s raising up your character to look more and more like the character of Jesus, and he’s raising you up as an active participant with him in his restorative Kingdom work, living the life to the full that he has made available (John 10:10).”

The Resurrection gives our lives meaning.
“After Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, the alreadyness of the Kingdom continues into the life of the Church, as members of Christ’s Body join as “Co-workers for the Kingdom of God” (Colossians 4:11). The Kingdom of God is the future that we long for, but it is also already breaking into the world.”
