The Great Put-On

Today, we find the Apostle Paul USING this new logic; he’s applying the historical event of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ to the daily life of the Christian. He’s saying “Because this happened…and because of what it means, WE CAN LIVE DIFFERENTLY…we can actually change and be transformed…NOT simply in our behavior and habits…BUT our heart and motives; our character can be changed … a new you IS possible.”

And I know that sounds like a diet a commercial but it’s true…it’s central to the Christian outlook on life. The resurrection of Jesus Christ guarantees a renovation…a renewal of everyone who receives the Gift and eventually a renovation of everything… Here’s how it works:

1. Where the renovation takes place
2. How Easter guarantees this renovation
3. How to Participate In the Great Put-On
