Unravel the mystery of what happens after death according to early Christian theology. Contrary to popular belief, Hades was not synonymous with hellfire and brimstone but rather a complex spiritual realm where souls could continue their journey towards salvation. This view is supported by scriptural references and writings from early church fathers, who spoke of gates and keys symbolizing access to preach the gospel to the dead. Such insights offer a deeper understanding of the plan of salvation, highlighting God's mercy and justice in providing every soul with the chance to accept the gospel.

Jesus meets us right where we are—troubled, doubting, hungry for reassurance. He doesn't shame us for our questions; instead, He offers Himself. His scars. His peace. His life.And just like the disciples in that upper room, we are invited not just to believe about Him but to know Him, trust Him, and rejoice in the living Lord who comes to us even now, saying:"Peace be with you.”

UNDERSTANDING JESUSLUKE 24

Discovering the depth of our brokenness to reveal the depth of His love.

In this episode, Dave and Ann Wilson are joined once again by Dr. Mark Bailey, an esteemed scholar and former president of Dallas Theological Seminary. The conversation centers around the powerful story of the resurrection of Lazarus from John 11, particularly reflecting on its theological and personal significance as we approach Good Friday and Easter. Dr. Bailey elaborates on how this story demonstrates the power of Jesus over both physical and spiritual death.The episode begins with light-hearted humor, with Dr. Bailey being praised as one of the best seminary professors and an important figure in the hosts' lives. The discussion moves to an in-depth exploration of the passage, focusing on the structure of John's Gospel. Dr. Bailey explains that the Gospel of John is divided into two sections: The Book of Signs (chapters 1-12), where miracles like the resurrection of Lazarus demonstrate Jesus' divine power, and The Book of Glory (chapters 13-21), which explores the significance of Jesus' death and resurrection. He highlights the pivotal role of Lazarus' resurrection as the seventh and climactic sign that emphasizes Christ's power over death and serves as a precursor to His own resurrection.Dr. Bailey uses the concept of ""chiasm"" (inverted parallelism) to break down the structure of the passage and point out the mirrored themes throughout. For example, the sickness and death of Lazarus frame the miracle of his resurrection, and this parallels with Jesus' own journey toward His crucifixion and resurrection. The hosts discuss the theological implications of this passage, particularly the importance of belief in the resurrection. Dr. Bailey dives deep into the personal and familial implications of the resurrection story, offering reflections on how it relates to marriage, family, and the legacy we leave behind.The narrative also explores the delay of Jesus in coming to Lazarus, which initially perplexed Mary and Martha but was revealed as a purposeful act for the glory of God, the immediate glory of Jesus, and the strengthening of the disciples' faith. Dr. Bailey discusses the irony of the reactions to Jesus' miracles—how some believed, while others became hostile and plotted to kill Jesus.As the conversation transitions toward Good Friday, the hosts reflect on the suffering of Christ and the importance of understanding His humanity. Dr. Bailey shares poignant insights on the deep emotional impact of Jesus' weeping over Lazarus and the broader suffering He experienced throughout His life, including the daily rejection He faced. This segment connects to the broader narrative of Christ's ultimate sacrifice for humanity, with the hosts reflecting on how believers can find hope in the face of sorrow and death.Finally, the episode concludes with a discussion on how to apply the lessons from Lazarus' resurrection to contemporary life. Dr. Bailey offers advice on how to deal with God's timing, emphasizing that delays in answers to prayer are not signs of divine indifference but opportunities to strengthen faith. The hosts encourage listeners to reflect on their own beliefs and the significance of the resurrection in their lives. The episode ends with Dr. Bailey praying for listeners, particularly those who may be encountering the Gospel message for the first time.

In a world filled with subscriptions and temporary commitments, are we simply adding Jesus to our lives like another subscription, or are we fully surrendering to His call? Discover the profound difference between treating Jesus as an optional addition and surrendering your life to Him.This sermon challenges the often comfortable perception of Christianity. It's not just about enhancing your life but experiencing a life transformed by Christ's call to genuine discipleship. We explore the misconception that faith is something to be tacked onto our busy lives like another subscription, rather than allowing it to revolutionize everything. Key insights include:1. **Denying Yourself**: A follower of Jesus chooses to deny themselves by surrendering their entire life to God. True discipleship involves making Jesus the focal point of your existence.2. **Taking Up Your Cross**: This involves willingly accepting suffering for God's plan and dying to personal desires. It's about daily choices to follow Jesus, regardless of the hardships.3. **Following Jesus' Example**: Embrace His teachings, His life, and His purpose. Success is redefined not by worldly standards but by a life devoted to Christ. As Jesus taught, what good is it for someone to gain the whole world yet forfeit their soul?4. **Understanding Jesus' Identity**: The disciples' journey from confusion to clarity highlights the importance of understanding who Jesus truly is and what it means to make Him King.Join us as we dive deeper into biblical truths, encouraging each believer to embark on a vibrant adventure of faith, with Jesus at the center.

What if the Bible isn't meant to be neatly packaged and easily explained? In this episode, CHT Fellow Hakeem Bradley joins The Biblical Mind Podcast to discuss how engaging scripture means leaning into tension rather than eliminating it. He explains why asking better questions leads to deeper understanding and why forcing Jesus into every Old Testament passage can sometimes do more harm than good. Bradley also shares his personal story—growing up in the Five Percent Nation, a movement that sees the Black man as divine, and how a surprising mentorship relationship led him to faith in Jesus. His journey from deep skepticism to biblical scholarship gives him a unique perspective on how to approach scripture without assumptions or shortcuts. The conversation explores how biblical authors thought, why Jesus himself had to read scripture in context, and how reading the Bible as a tension-filled conversation—rather than a collection of easy answers—can reshape faith and theology.
