60. Post-Resurrection: What happens after Easter?

On today’s episode of the podcast, Sheldon DeVries from Journey Church joins Greg Dowell here at Central for a discussion about the time following Easter. We are quite familiar with the resurrection of Jesus, and the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, which are rooted in resurrection, are foundational to this church. But what about the period of time after Jesus is raised from the dead? What do the Ascension and Pentecost mean for us? Today we read Scripture knowing the end of the story, but what if we assume the point of the view of the disciples who don’t know what happens next as they talk with Jesus after his resurrection?

This discussion is timely as we approach Holy Week at the end of the season of Lent. We’ll dive further into this topic for two in-person Wednesday night classes with Sheldon on April 20 and 27—mark your calendars! Together we’ll look at the significance of the Paschal mystery and living post-resurrection.
