A central meaning of the Gospel — as announced in the New Testament—is that Jesus is risen from the dead. As the Apostle Paul writes when he shares the gospel, “he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures”. (1 Cor 15:4) Resurrection is more than just good news about Jesus being alive. Resurrection is a seismic shift in all the fabric of the universe. Resurrection is the vindication of Christ Jesus, the death of death, the inauguration a new age, and a new creation. This means that for all who are in Christ, there is a new creation—- a new way of ordering the world. The early church will take this good news of new creation and begin to pattern their lives in ways that will give their kingdom allegiance to Christ. This will have radical social, political, and cosmic implications. Jesus is risen, therefore God’s new world has begun. Jesus is risen, therefore Israel and the world have been redeemed. Jesus is risen, therefore his followers have a new job to do. And what is that new job? To bring the life of heaven to birth in actual, physical, earthly reality.
