When it comes to the resurrection, Christians need a biblically instructed imagination. Not in the sense of make-believe, but rather the biblically realistic ability to look at what is decaying and normally to be discarded with the eyes of faith seeing a new creation, made in the image of Jesus Christ. We will look at this passage under four headings:

1. Interrogation (v. 35)

2. Illustration (vv. 36–41)

3. Implication (vv. 42–44)

4. Image-ination (vv. 45–49)
