Encrypted in Christ

Summary

We do not need to know everything about the resurrection. We do not need to comprehend its every detail before we can grasp its essential truth. We who are followers of Christ have already died, says Paul; died to our old lives of sin and hopelessness. Our true lives are now hidden, encrypted, in the risen life of our Savior. Just as Yamba studied the engravings and grasped the basics of the good news about Jesus, we, too, can look at the resurrection and discover all we really need to know about God’s great love for the world, and for us. The resurrection functions as our Rosetta Stone. The resurrection is God’s triumphant love, translated into a message we can begin to appreciate.
