The Thing About the Resurrection Most Christians Miss

Ancient stone tomb entrance at dawn, warm golden light breaking through the opening, early morning mist, earth tones, cinematic, no people, peaceful but powerful

You believe in the resurrection. You say it out loud every time you recite the Apostles' Creed. You celebrate it every Easter. You lean on it at gravesides when you don't know what else to say.

So why do most of us live like it happened a long time ago, to someone else, in a garden outside Jerusalem?

This Sunday I'm preaching from Romans 8:6–11 — and Paul has something to say about the resurrection that most Christians have never quite grabbed hold of. It's not about someday. It's not about a safety net strung out in the future.

It's about right now.

More after Sunday.
