Building on our theme from “Palm Sunday”, today we consider milestones marking the covenant history of the hope of life after death. Just as the message of Jesus' triumphal entry is magnified upon the realization of a prophetic pattern in scripture, so too is the message of resurrection. Since the advent of the curse there can be no gospel (good news) for humanity without redeeming grace and resurrecting power. For everyone born dead in their trespasses and sins, our physical existence is determined by our spiritual condition rendering death inevitable short of miraculous intervention. Salvation's history proclaims this hope via signal moments of divine word and works as the scroll of God's decree unrolls in time.
