- 1:56worse
- 1:56for
- 1:56those
- 1:56who
- 1:57died
- 1:57hoping

- 2:01if
- 2:02all
- 2:02we
- 2:02get
- 2:02out
- 2:02of
- 2:02Christ
- 2:03is
- 2:03a

- 2:05years
- 2:06where
- 2:06we're
- 2:07pretty
- 2:07sorry
- 2:07lot.
- 2:08But
- 2:09the
- 2:09truth
- 2:09is
- 2:09that
- 2:10Christ
- 2:10has
- 2:11been
- 2:12raised
- 2:12up
- 2:13the
- 2:13first
- 2:13and
- 2:13the
- 2:13long
- 2:13legacy
- 2:14of
- 2:14those
- 2:14who
- 2:14are

- 2:18Powerful
- 2:19verse
- 2:19of
- 2:20scripture
- 2:20there
- 2:21that
- 2:21ends
- 2:22the
- 2:22reading.
- 2:22So
- 2:22let's
- 2:22get
- 2:23into
- 2:23a
- 2:23couple
- 2:23of
- 2:23things
- 2:23that
- 2:24I
- 2:24think
- 2:24are
- 2:25generally
- 2:25worth
- 2:26pondering
- 2:27a
- 2:27bit.
- 2:27I
- 2:27like
- 2:28to
- 2:28call
- 2:28them
- 2:28points
- 2:28to
- 2:28ponder.
- 2:30Here's
- 2:30the
- 2:30first.
- 2:31Resurrection
- 2:32is
- 2:32the
- 2:32foundation,
- 2:33not
- 2:33the
- 2:33decoration.
- 2:35Paul
- 2:35lays
- 2:35this
- 2:35out
- 2:36with
- 2:36almost
- 2:36mathematical
- 2:37precision.
- 2:38If
- 2:38resurrection
- 2:39isn't
- 2:39real,
- 2:39then
- 2:40the
- 2:40whole
- 2:40thing
- 2:40collapses.
- 2:42Not
- 2:42just
- 2:42one
- 2:42doctrine.
- 2:43Everything
- 2:44Paul
- 2:45Calls
- 2:45it
- 2:45smoke
- 2:45and
- 2:45mirrors,
- 2:46wandering
- 2:47in
- 2:47the
- 2:47dark,
- 2:48a
- 2:48sorry
- 2:49lot,
- 2:49getting
- 2:49nothing
- 2:49more
- 2:50than
- 2:50a
- 2:50little
- 2:50inspiration
- 2:51for
- 2:51a
- 2:51few
- 2:51short
- 2:51years.
- 2:53Now
- 2:53here's
- 2:54a
- 2:54progressive
- 2:54theological
- 2:55lens
- 2:55gets
- 2:56really
- 2:56interesting
- 2:57in
- 2:57interpreting
- 2:58this
- 2:58text.
- 2:59Sometimes
- 3:00in
- 3:00progressive
- 3:00Christian
- 3:01spaces,
- 3:01there's
- 3:01a
- 3:02temptation
- 3:03to
- 3:03quietly
- 3:03set
- 3:03resurrection
- 3:04aside,
- 3:05to
- 3:05frame
- 3:06faith
- 3:06as
- 3:06some
- 3:06sort
- 3:07of
- 3:07an
- 3:07ethical
- 3:07teaching.
- 3:08Social
- 3:08justice,
- 3:09loving
- 3:09your
- 3:10neighbor,
- 3:11those
- 3:11are
- 3:11all
- 3:11important
- 3:11things.
- 3:12But
- 3:13Paul
- 3:13refuses
- 3:13to
- 3:13let
- 3:14us
- 3:14do
- 3:14that.
- 3:15He's
- 3:15saying
- 3:15you
- 3:15can't
- 3:16separate
- 3:16the
- 3:16ethics
- 3:17from
- 3:17the
- 3:17resurrection,
- 3:18the
- 3:18power
- 3:19to
- 3:19actually
- 3:19live
- 3:20differently,
- 3:20to
- 3:20love,
- 3:20when
- 3:21it's
- 3:21hard
- 3:22to
- 3:22have
- 3:22hope
- 3:23inside
- 3:23of
- 3:23suffering.
- 3:24That
- 3:25doesn't
- 3:25come
- 3:25from
- 3:25inspiration
- 3:26alone.
- 3:26It
- 3:26comes
- 3:26from
- 3:27a
- 3:27living,
- 3:28a
- 3:28transforming,
- 3:29resurrected
- 3:30resurrection
- 3:31reality.
- 3:33So
- 3:33progressive
- 3:34theology
- 3:34at
- 3:34its
- 3:35best
- 3:35doesn't
- 3:35shrink
- 3:36from
- 3:36resurrection
- 3:37and
- 3:37actually
- 3:37takes
- 3:38it
- 3:38seriously.
- 3:39Not
- 3:39as
- 3:39a
- 3:40magical
- 3:40escape
- 3:41from
- 3:41the
- 3:41world,
- 3:42but
- 3:42as
- 3:42the
- 3:42very
- 3:42ground
- 3:43of
- 3:43transformative
- 3:43hope
- 3:44that
- 3:45changes
- 3:45how
- 3:45we
- 3:45live
- 3:46right
- 3:46now.

- 4:10that
- 4:10a
- 4:11resurrection

- 4:12And
- 4:13Paul

- 4:29changes
- 4:29everything.
- 4:31The
- 4:31last
- 4:32line
- 4:32is
- 4:32the
- 4:32one
- 4:32that
- 4:32I
- 4:33keep
- 4:33thinking
- 4:33about

- 4:41Interesting
- 4:43first
- 4:43and
- 4:44long
- 4:44legacy.
- 4:45Paul
- 4:45isn't
- 4:45describing
- 4:46a
- 4:46one
- 4:46time
- 4:47historical
- 4:47event
- 4:48that
- 4:48we
- 4:48simply
- 4:49believe
- 4:49in
- 4:49and
- 4:50file
- 4:50away.
- 4:51He's
- 4:51describing
- 4:51a
- 4:52movement,
- 4:52a
- 4:52trajectory,
- 4:54something
- 4:54that

- 5:00A
- 5:00progressive
- 5:01reading
- 5:01of
- 5:01this
- 5:01asks
- 5:02where
- 5:02is
- 5:02that
