Christ's Resurrection and the New Creation...

'In 2 Corinthians 5, Paul places followers of Jesus within a new creation that has already begun: "… the old has gone, the new has come!" This is the reality brought about by the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The old powers have been defeated, the old self has been crucified, and the futility of creation is being undone. A new king is lord, the new self has been raised, and the creation is catching a glimpse of an eternity with hope.'


-- J. R. Daniel Kirk
