The Resurrection of the Body and the Life Everlasting. Amen.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

1. Why is a bodily resurrection an important doctrine in the Christian faith? How should this doctrine impact the way we think about life, death, and eternity?

2. When you think about our transformed bodies, what first comes to your mind? Why is it important to remember that we will be free from the presence and effects of sin?

3. Even though death hasn’t yet been swallowed up in victory, the sting of death has been removed. How have you experienced comfort because of our victory over death? How can you help comfort others in the face of death?

4. How can the reality of the resurrection encourage you to be steadfast, immovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord? What does it look like for you to apply verse 58 in your life this week?
