The Holy Spirit is no skeptic. He asserts Christ has been raised from the dead.

In today's episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price explore the teachings of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

I’m A Loser, Baby, So Why Don’t You Resurrect Me? In this episode, we discuss the difference between our ideas of Jesus as a “winner” who gives us big wins in life versus Jesus, who wins by losing to sin, death, and the devil. We read Gerhard Forde’s article “Loser Takes All” and consider how we bend Jesus to our ideas of satisfaction, safety, and success.

We know that death does not have the last word in Christ.

God comes to us through the flesh and blood and spirit of Christ precisely where he promised to be manifest to us and for us.

Only the resurrection of Jesus guarantees and facilitates divine presence and love to us as divine life for us.

If Jesus did not rise, then religion is just religion — a mere anthropological phenomenon.

The resurrection of Jesus encompasses the total and comprehensive glorification of a human being, not merely his restoration.

Theologian and Biblical Scholar, John Kleinig, joins Kelsi to discuss the vision the Bible gives us for God's redemptive plan as a wholly physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional endeavor.

If it’s all a fiction spun by disappointed disciples, if it’s a mere symbol for the idea of an inner awakening, if it’s not a fact that Christ has been raised, then our grief and loss have no end, and we have no hope.

In Christ, God gives us not a posthuman future but a human future in His children through His Son.
