Resurrection of Jesus

Evans lists some reasons that Jesus aroused opposition which ultimately contributed to his death concluding that “in the end, the Jewish authorities sought to kill Jesus not because he was a good man but because Jesus was perceived as a very serious political threat.” (p. 9) He closes the chapter by noting the theological implications of Jesus’ death which for early Jews steeped in Messianism signified that he wasn’t the Messiah they expected…

definition of life after death. It should be Life after death after life. What does happen when we die? How does death link to God 's big plan for the world as we know it? In Tom Wrights lecture at King 's College, he address ' the topic of Death, Resurrection, and Afterlife. This entire discussion can be expressed in what Wright likes to call “life after life after death.” What he means by this phrase is, you live, you die (or as the Bible would call it, sleep), and God resurrects you. We find…

of the Bodily Nature of Jesus’s Resurrection and Its Eschatological Implications Thus, I now turn to the matter of the historical credibility of Jesus’ “bodily resurrection” and its eschatological implications. Unlike Peacocke and Keller’s view of the bodily resurrection of Jesus, it is “credible” or “well-motivated belief” that the resurrection of Jesus was a “bodily” event that happened to Jesus based on the two traditions of many eyewitnesses and Jesus’ empty tomb. On the basis of…

Traditionally, most people believe that what propelled the Jesus movement was Jesus’ crucifixion was seen as a massive defeat, where his followers were ready to leave and give up on the hopes of a new kingdom, but then Jesus was resurrected and this resurrection was going to give Jesus’ followers another chance at experiencing the Kingdom of God. Aside from these traditional views, some theologians argue that there are other events that propelled the Jesus movement and caused its expansion. In…

Resurrection Life Easter was my father’s most favourite time of year, and it became increasingly so as he grew older. His spirit identified with nature as it came to life again after the desolation and cold of a long Manitoba winter. Each new flower species, from crocus to daisy, heralds new life after death. Unless a seed dies, God cannot give it a new body. When I was doing my first term of Clinical Pastoral Education at University Hospital in Saskatoon, SK, a World War Veteran was assigned…

Christology of incarnation and the power of Jesus’s resurrection and the relationship of Jesus and God and man. Wolfhart Pannenberg here looks and analyses the contrasting theories between the Alexandrian fusion of Jesus with God and Antiochene separation between Jesus and God. He demonstrate that neither side was able to express and justify the unity or duality of Christ. Theological ideas at stake Pannenberg says “The teaching about Jesus Christ lies at the heart of every Christian…

This is my triumph. This is my coronation day.” But for those who are not in Christ, resurrection from the dead is for judgment and consignment to eternal punishment. The Bible teaches that God has set a day to judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead(Acts 17: 30-31). Do you know this resurrected Christ? If you do not know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, NOW is the accepted time to make peace with…

branch each person decides to go for. Christians not only worship God, but also worship Jesus as a Divine being and not just a prophet. In Catholicism followers are freer to choose what they want to believe, but still having a path and rules to follow. On the similarities side, Muslims and Christian believe that there is only on God as the creator of the universe. Additionally both religions believe in Jesus and that he will return on the Day of Judgment to save the universe. Satan is real and…

The resurrection of Christ is one of the largest hot button topics in the field of Christian Apologetics and the field of New Testament criticism. Dr. Gary Habermas, arguably the foremost voice on Christian Resurrection, said, “Over the last two years, I have tracked more than twelve hundred publications on the subject of the resurrection of Jesus. Each source appeared between 1975 and the present, with the vast majority written by critical scholars.” The article that this was quoted from was…
