The Perfecting Church

In Christ we can expect to comeback from every disappointment and loss we experience. As born again believers we are in the grip of His resurrection life. No matter what we experience here, it does not catch God by surprise. Disappointments and loss, as real as they are are not terminal for those who learn to live in resurrected life, anchored in the God of the comeback. He is able to resurrect us from the disappointments and losses we will experience in this world.

When Jesus came back from the dead in Jerusalem over two-thousand years ago, it changed everything. His followers moved the day they gathered for worship from Saturday to Sunday. Every weekly gathering became a celebration of His resurrection and their new lives in Him. Although our annual celebration of Resurrection Sunday has passed, His resurrection continues to be the one reality that changes every aspect of our lives. Jesus’ resurrection is the basis for every true comeback we will ever experience in this life, including our own physical resurrection out of it. God of the comeback is about learning to live — In the Grip of Resurrection Life.

The life-altering reality of Jesus’ resurrection is lost and leaves us stuck in unbelief if we don’t first realize this world and everything in it is crying out for resurrection. We’ve all found and will find ourselves in places we never expected to be. We’ve all learned and will learn how it feels to be overwhelmingly disappointed, discouraged and hopeless in this world. Jesus' resurrection gives us the courage to no longer run from the tombs and graveyards that fill this world and our lives. His resurrection life lifts us out of this world and restores us to the Father’s divine power and intentions.
