On this Easter Sunday, it’s important to say that the resurrection of Jesus was not just the restoration of Jesus’s body. The resurrection of Jesus was the defeat of death, and the beginning of the end of this old, cursed world. This world drowning in its own sin, sinking into its own evil has an expiry date. The resurrection of Jesus is the firstfruits of a new world with new life and new people.
