In this series finale, the Devotional Doctors discuss our future hope in resurrection. We can trust that, experiencing a death like Christ's, we will also have a new life like Christ's. Hope is a peculiar thing - it is a steadfast anchor, but it is also forward-looking toward the as-yet unseen. We can also concede that there is much that we simply do not understand and cannot anticipate. Bryan uses the imagery of a sailboat to describe the uncertainty that the future holds, as we adjust our sails in response to the winds of change. The Doctors also sign off for Season 5, and express their hope for the future resurrection of the podcast!

So how does the Scriptural story of resurrection connect to us today? In this episode, JD and Bryan revisit the discussion of resurrection through the Old and New Testaments, and see how Acts and the epistles lay a framework for the church as people of the resurrection. While we look forward to the final resurrection, there is also a sense in which the Christian life is already a new creation. By faith and the deeply symbolic act of baptism, we are transferred from death into glorious life. We also meditate on the language of "already and not yet", and how Christians participate in new creation as rulers and conquerors over the powers of death. Listen in for good tidings in the resurrection that is yet to come, and is already in the world.
