The Resurrection Revolution: The End of The Revolution?
“God overlooked people’s ignorance . . . in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. For he has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him from the dead.”
Acts 17:30-31 NLT
"...I am on trial because my hope is in the resurrection of the dead!"
Acts 23:6b NLT
What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. The creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay.
Romans 8:18-19, 21 NLT

Crossing the Finish Line
Means I. . .
1. FIX MY EYES ON JESUS’ LIFE.
Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1b, 2 NIV
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
1 Corinthians 9:24 NIV
Hebrews 12:1b, 2 NIV

2. LET GO OF THE WORLD’S PROPAGANDA.
Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ.
Philippians 3:8-9a NLT
For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith. I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!
Philippians 3:9b-11 NLT

3. FOCUS ON FINISHING FAITHFULLY.
The time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
