Do you believe in life before death?

Morning: Psalm 136; Daniel 12:1-4,13; Acts 4:1-12
Evening: Psalm 118; John 16:1-15
In uncertain and dark times, Jesus’ resurrection offers a promising horizon. But what is the promise?  The expectation of life beyond death is not new with Christianity; the radically new thing is the possibility of new life before you die.  Following Jesus is a this-worldly experience, not an other-worldly one.  It’s about immersion in life, not escaping from it.  Thus, in the stories about Jesus’ death and resurrection, the Spirit of God is central.  Jesus shows us God’s face; the Holy Spirit guarantees God is with us for ever, leading us into truth in the here and now.
