Resurrection of the dead

where death and destruction seem still to reign and yet our faith teaches that in Christ has defeated death through his work on the cross and in resurrection declaring that not even death can separate us from the love of God. Paul teaches in Romans 6:4 “Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.” In baptism we die to our old self and are resurrected with Christ…

What do You Believe? Take a look at the people around you. People you see every day: the mailman, a banker, a fireman, and a stay-at-home mom – what do they all have in common? Take a closer look. Maybe the mailman has a broken down vehicle; the banker is running late to an important meeting, the mother’s child is extremely sick. All of these people are currently experiencing what are commonly called ‘bad days’, and they will no doubt experience them again; yet, they still carry on with their…

Heavenly Origins are very large because they are very significant to not only the theme itself but also the song and quote chosen. Smaller words that connect to the theme in John’s Gospel are, ‘Ascension’, ‘Resurrection’, and Ascended. These words connect because the theme talks about Jesus’ resurrection and the Ascension of Jesus, when he ascended into heaven. All three of these words relate to Jesus’ Heavenly origins. Overall, all the words are significant and connect to the major theme in…

that his tomb was empty. This empty tomb in itself does not necessarily mean that Christ rose from the dead. In chapter thirteen, however, three separate sources were provided to corroborate the story that Jesus was seen alive after his death on the cross. The words found in Paul’s creed, the gospel accounts, and the Acts of the Apostles are a testament that Jesus did in fact rise from the dead…

the late fourth century. According to scholar Jacobus de Voragine, Jerome attributed the symbol of the man to Evangelist Mathew because he dwelt on the humanity of Christ. He assigned the symbol of the lion to Mark because Mark wrote about the resurrection. Luke’s symbol became the ox because he wrote about Christ’s priesthood and paid special attention to sacrifice. Lastly, Jerome assigned John an eagle symbol because John’s gospel is about Christ’s divinity. Jerome also recorded more specific…

existing in a transformed physical existence in the after life. Death is rather the period of rest leading up to day of resurrection, when Allah will judge the living and the dead. It is a common belief by Muslims, that one day Allah will destroy everything on earth and on the same day the dead will rise and all will face judgment. This day is referred to as The day of Resurrection, The Day of Judgment or the Last Hour. It is on this last day where Allah will balance the good deeds and the bad…

During my trip to Ohio, I was also able to view a dress rehearsal of Handel’s Messiah performed by Heidelburg College choir in Tiffin, Ohio. This has always been one of my favorite musical pieces to see performed. I enjoy both instrumental and vocal performances, specifically pieces with a cappela. Heiedleberg college is a Christian institution which only adds to the dynamics of the piece. The conductor began performance by indicating the original performance date of April 1742 in Dublin,…

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…

The Dichotomy of Alienation and Resurrection Throughout many of his novels, Dostoevsky explores themes of isolation and alienation from society and how love both from God and from humanity is vital to a meaningful existence. This idea is evident throughout his novel House of the Dead, and most poignant in the character of Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment. Ultimately, alienation and isolation from society lead to unhappiness and dissatisfaction, whereas being accepted, loved, and recognized…
