Ben Stuart's 2nd MetroLive talk

I Peter 1:3. We are people of Jesus but we need to go beyond that in we are called to be the people of resurrection. The world is going "Ok, but what is that to us?!?" Resurrection should be life-changing but the question is it to us? Our present and future should be different because Jesus' action in the past. Our present and future is affected by our view of death but Christ's substitute for us, secured our future hope. Christ's triumph over death gives us victory over our "little deaths" we face daily.
Christ's death establishes purpose: Share Christ's peace in a world that desperately needs it. "Death loses it eternalness when Christ makes His sacrifice for us"
We are born-again to show God and His Glory to a world that has been blinded and bored. What a sad commentary. Christ is our "Living Hope" waiting to be shared with a desperate and seeking world. This is a despite the world, ie. Stephen Hawking saying it's crazy and pathetic to "make-believe" that Christ's story is anything other than make-believe.
The world can explain Christ away but it cannot explain away His followers! So step up and answer the call/questions that the world presents...
