Episode #70 – What is the Resurrection of the Body?

Episode Summary:

On episode 70 of Knowing Faith, Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue working their way through the Apostles’ Creed—this time talking about bodily resurrection, future resurrection, and Gnosticism.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• What is resurrection? Is this talking about Jesus’ resurrection?

• Does the creed mean to say that all of us will one day experience a bodily resurrection? Will it be like Lazarus’?

• What is a body?

• What is the difference between an earthly body and a spiritual body?

• How is our resurrection tied to the resurrection of Jesus?

The Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth,
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven 
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
