"When Jesus died on the cross, so did your sin; when He rose from the dead, so did your hope." (Max Lucado)  Jesus rising from the grave is essential to the Christian pioneering journey, and yet, many don't truly understand why or what He accomplished. In this Field Note, host, Bethany Barr Phillips, answers two questions: Why did He rise? What did it do? It's not enough to simply talk about the resurrection. We must understand that without it, we there is no reason for hope in the life of a pioneer. Don't miss this clarifying episode willing to give concrete reasons why Jesus rose from the grave and what it actually does for the life of all who believe.  Takeaways Jesus’ death was the perfect sacrifice that reconciles us to God. Jesus’ resurrection paves the way for our resurrection from the dead and eternal life with Him forever in heaven. Jesus rose to validate everything that was said about Him and everything that He said about Himself. The resurrection sets Christianity apart from all other religions. We worship and serve the only God that is ALIVE. “We live and die. Christ died and lived!”   —John Stott     Pioneer Assembly Substack Pioneer Assembly Book Club Pioneer Assembly Instagram Contact Bethany
