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.

In this continuation of our series on resurrection, Bryan and JD consider the “otherness” of Jesus’ resurrected body. He continues to bear the scars of the cross, but his resurrection body is also one of kingly glory. And, lest we forget, bodies don’t just naturally resurrect themselves. So what makes the resurrection of Jesus Christ so special? And how does the “otherness” of Jesus help us understand “otherness” in our own resurrection, in the light of Romans 8 or 1 Corinthians 15? There is comfort in our hope of reunion and resurrection. Listen, and hope for the glory to be revealed in us in the coming resurrection!

Jesus Christ arose from the dead! As Christians, we may take that revolutionary statement for granted. Jesus was bodily raised; his resurrected body walked, and breathed, and even ate breakfast! His body was in many ways the same body that hung on the cross and was buried in the tomb. Jesus showed his scars to Thomas and the other disciples. But the gospels are not intended as an analytical, forensic report. What do we make of such a body? And how can we understand our own bodily resurrection in light of Jesus’? Listen, like, subscribe, and share the message of the hope of resurrection with others!

This week, we consider psalms and laments through the lens of resurrection. When Job, David, or other poets cry out to the Lord from a place of despair, God demonstrates care and power to redeem His people. These poems also represent God's care for the suffering of individuals, peoples, and even all creation. We have spoken before about lament as part of a healthy emotional spectrum; when resurrection is in the picture, we can understand lament as a plea for life out of death. In this podcast episode, we also trace through Psalm 116, to weigh death and suffering against hope, and question how the death of the saints could be precious.
