This week Josiah gave part two of Foundation 5 from Hebrews 6, the resurrection of the dead. He is the God of resurrection and He wants to resurrect things that are broken and hopelessness in our heart. He has resurrected us by the cross, He continues to resurrect things in our life as we walk with Him and He will resurrect us in the day to come. He is the resurrection and the life, He desires to breath His life into you.

He resurrects us and gives us life then there is an expectation to steward these gifts He gives us. The parable of the talents in Matt 25 and Luke 19 speaks to this heavenly reality, where how we live today will determine how we live in eternity. This shouldn't lead us into striving and comparison but towards Him, abiding in the vine.

Josiah began Foundation 5 from Hebrews 6 today - Resurrection of the Dead. He began by unpacking the story line of God preceding the Resurrection of the Dead. When Jesus came the Israelites were offended because they were expecting Him to come like a warrior King and physically take down the empire, but we know He came with humility and mercy. Although, the bible talks about a time when He will come with a sword and He will take down the unrighteous.

This is a hard concept for us to grasp, but there is an invitation to see Him as righteous King, and see His holy anger against that which is wicked.
