Christians are sometimes accused of having a head in the clouds or pie in the sky sort of theology, especially when it comes to the future and our hope of bodily resurrection. A belief in a future, bodily resurrection may seem somewhat impractical to the here and now. How does believing that one day I will raise from the dead make any difference to me today? All theology should inform my head, my heart, and my hands. It should transform what we think, believe, and do in the here and now.
To that end, professor and pastor Mitchell Chase has written an excellent short article to help connect the doctrine of the resurrection to this present life and the nature of the local church. He concludes by saying,
“Growing as disciples in faithfulness to Christ, we will be those who “look for the resurrection of the dead.” We actively wait and hope for it. When all is said and done, the bodily risen Jesus will have a bodily risen people.”
Amen! I heartily recommend this article to you. Find it a the link below:
