After our future resurrection, our lives will be…
1) Fully directed & empowered by the Spirit – vv44-46.
2) Marked by the glory and perfection of the age to come – vv47-48.
3) Fully conformed to the image of the risen Christ – v49.
Preparing your heart for the sermon:
-What was Adam's life marked by? Now compare/contrast that with the risen Christ. How do Adam and Christ serve as representatives of large groups of people?
-How did Adam become alive? Does Christ receive life or give life? Explain.
-What does it mean to be in the image of God? How has sin affected this?
-Other passages to consider: Gen 1:26-31; 2:7; 5:1-3; 9:6; Ezek 37:1-14; Rom 8:9-11,18-30; 1 Cor 2:14-16; 3:18-4:6; 4:16-5:10; Phil 3:20-21; Rev 21:1-6
Digging Deeper:
-What is this world marked by? How do our present lives reflect that?
-What will characterize the new heaven and new earth? How will our resurrected lives reflect that?
-What will it be like to bear the image of the risen Christ? How will that fully restore the image of God in us?
-How would your life be different if you were fully directed and empowered by the Holy Spirit?
