What does the Resurrection Mean?

In modern society we have no real understanding of cost or sacrifice, as we have a view of cheep grace. However many don't realize that real healing and forgiveness comes from restitution, from cost, and from sacrifice. It isn't that God just sent his son to be killed, no that isn't the message. What Jesus did as the son of God is to in obedience to the Father's divine will, carrying out that will in a society that has gone corporately wrong (which is actually what original sin means), It is his obedience in the contexts of the corrupt society that ultimately leads to the crucifixion that restores our relationship which was broken between God and man.

So all of the evil, sin, and injustice in the world was put on Jesus and which he willingly took so we may have eternal life. Isaiah talks about how our Savior was bruised for our transgressions, beaten for our iniquities, and how he has overcome sin and death, so we may live again, eternally with him. It is key to remember Colossians 2 that Jesus through his resurrection took the worst and disarmed the principalities and powers of this world: What Paul is saying all the evil and the sin of this world did its worst to Jesus and he took this pain for us and defeated and broken its bonds forever through the power of his resurrection. All glory and thanks to God three in one, Lets give thanks for reserectiona and God incarnate among us, God Bless.
