Resurrection hope

If you are a Jesus follower you may be aware that a large part of the faith family is currently observing Lent. It's a time to focus on the last days of Jesus' earthly life and then death and resurrection, which is the Easter celebration. 

But this post isn't about Jesus's resurrection (Jesus' whole person, that is, his body which is somehow changed, his spirit or soul or whatever philisophy you hold regarding persona; but this was the new life for Jesus' WHOLE self. His Resurrection.). I'm writing about our own resurrection hope, following after Jesus in new life.

Read this interview in Time with N.T. Wright about the hope of all those who are 'in' Jesus (those who declare that he is the King of the World and choose alegience to him.)

This is a bit of a follow-up of Eric's R.I.P. post a few weeks ago. This understanding of the resurrection of Jesus' followers seemed to be lacking in the service he attended. (I was back at grandpa's house with a sleeping baby.)
