The resurrection of Jesus Christ is compelling because it puts everything into perspective. In the middle of desperation, there is hope. After tragedy, there can be redemption. Even in the face of death, there is a promise of new life.
In Life After Life, Mark Meynell begins by unpacking how Jesus’ resurrection from the dead fulfilled God’s plan of salvation. It then explores the ways in which the eternal life won by Christ is available to us, even now, through the Holy Spirit. Finally, readers are invited to imagine how this life might continue into a heaven and an Earth that have been gloriously remade.
In Christ, we can all be raised to life. So, let a fresh vision of the Resurrection encourage you to live boldly, with purpose and hope.
