Excellent. Thank you GC. I have been pondering this for a while. I help teach a bible study to group of adults with intellectual abilities. They all can pretty say with joy that Jesus died for their sins. But they don’t get the resurrection and the great joy in that.
Since they are very literal, Last week, I compared it to a football game of their favorite team playing a hard game but ending in a tie. Nobody wins. The enemy doesn’t win, but we don’t either. But the resurrection makes the score a gazillion to 0. Death has been defeated!!
I have been working on Phil 3:10 to help them understand the power of the resurrection and how that changes their life as much as the crucifixion.
Great analogy!
Hope all is well!
