RezPreps - Luke 14:14

This Easter Sunday, we use Luke’s citation to consider the preparation that each one who believes in the resurrection of Jesus Christ should make for his or her own resurrection; hence, the title “Rez-preps.” Our reflection begins with an account of Christ’s teaching that is nested between a series of calls for the nation of Israel to repent and parables describing those who are saved. It continues through a short topical study that describes the ‘who, what, when and where’ of resurrection and, most importantly, the ‘prep’ for resurrection. For those God lovers with wobbly faith, this section is consistent with Luke’s purpose of bringing encouragement as they prepare for their future eternal existence.
