Lords Day 22a

Sermon:
Believe the Resurrection of the Flesh!

1. The first resurrection and my death
2. The second, glorious resurrection

Questions to Ponder

1. What did the Greeks believe about the soul and about the body after death?
2. What is the importance of the word ‘immediately’ in Answer 57? On what Scriptural basis do we
   confess this?
3. Answer 57 confesses that my soul shall be taken up to Christ. Give some examples from the
   Bible about those who were taken up.
4. In the resurrection there will be continuity and progression. Explain.
5. We confess that this my flesh will be reunited with my soul. Does this mean we will continue
   with the eyesight problems, heart problems, arthritis, lisps that identify this my flesh?
6. What do you understand by the transformation or the metamorphosis of the body? Give an
   example.
7. How does this confession help you at funerals?
