Today, Christians around the world gather to celebrate the most momentous headline in history: He is risen!
And because Jesus is aliveâresurrected from the deadâso too are we who believe in him. We were dead in our sin, but God in his rich mercy âmade us alive together with Christâ and raised us up with him (Eph. 2:5).
In Christ, weâre alive in the fullest senseânot just temporarily enlivened like an ephemeral spring but permanently alive like an endless summer. In him, weâve obtained an inheritance (1:11)âthe inheritance of eternal life together with Christ and his church. Hallelujah!
In Christ weâre alive in the fullest senseânot just temporarily enlivened like an ephemeral spring but permanently alive like an endless summer.
Iâll be joyously celebrating this gospel on Easter but also later this week at the TGC25 conference. This Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, more than 7,000 people will gather in Indianapolis to unpack the nature of the gospel that makes us âalive together.â Weâll look at what the gospel is and what it doesâhow it saves us, how it shapes us, and how it sends us.
I canât wait to listen to gospel-rich preaching and hear the voices of thousands of Godâs people as we worship God for who he is and what he has done: making us a revived and united people, alive together in Christ.
Listen to the first song on the TGC25 conference playlistâa recording of the TGC13 crowd singing âHoly, Holy, Holyâ a cappellaâand try not to get goose bumps. Thatâs the heavenly foretaste weâll experience this week as we gather in Indianapolis: alive together now as an eschatological community . . . glimpsing the future then when weâll be alive together forever!
