“Jesus, The Resurrection, and The New Creation”

The Story Continues

The Big Question

Do you believe Jesus truly finished the work He came to do

or there something else?” Yes_____ or No_________

Did the Kingdom of God come into the earth when Jesus

came or are we waiting for it to come sometime in the future

with Jesus at His final return?

The reason the answer is Yes and No is because one action

was spiritual and the other was natural and physical.

John 17:4 NKJV

I have glorified You on the earth.

I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.

The Bible is very clear that Jesus' death on the cross

destroyed the power of death, the devil, and evil.

Hebrews 2:14 ESV

Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood,

he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through

death he might destroy the one who has the power

of death, that is, the devil.

Proleptic; means to view future events, as already present or

assured in some way.

Jesus came to correct the spiritual problem first and then the

physical or natural realm issues would follow in time.

Scripture reference: I Corinthians 15:20-26 Ampl

Because people still die. This shows us that we are living

between the spiritual defeat of death on the cross and the

final defeat of physical death. Revelation 21:4 ESV

Hebrews 8:13 Weymouth Translation

By using the words, "a new Covenant," He has made the first

one obsolete; but whatever is decaying and showing signs of

old age is not far from disappearing altogether.

John 11:25 NLT

Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life.

Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.

We must understand the present time is between Jesus'

resurrection and the future resurrection when we will all be

raised to fully experience the New Creation in its fullness.

I Corinthians 15:25 Ampl

For Christ must reign [as King]

until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

The post resurrection work that Jesus has been given to do is

to rule the world in the present through his obedient church.

The central plan of God has always been Jesus, the Kingdom

of God now, and His Glory filling the Earth.

Jesus completed the work He was sent to do in the spiritual

world that we could not do and then He released His authority

to His church to do the natural physical work through the

power of the spirit that we are assigned to do.

What we misunderstand, we misapply.

What will you choose ? Victory or defeat?
