Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life

Jesus’ resurrected power is in our lives now. Even though we are not yet bodily resurrected, Christians are, according to Ephesians 2, raised with Christ and knowing the power of his resurrection.

What does that mean? What does it mean to live that kind of life? What kind of life should we live now in light of the resurrection of Jesus? 

Let’s look at 1) how we’re supposed to live as Christians, 2) the test by which we know whether we’re living that way, and 3) the power by which we can live that way.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 11, 2014. Series: Following Jesus. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:1-2.

When we unite with Jesus Christ, his resurrection power comes into our lives. 

Even though we believe we’ll be resurrected in our bodies at the end of time, there is already a spiritual resurrection that happens to us now. What does that look like? 

Looking at this text, we can see 1) what happened, 2) where it happens, 3) how it keeps happening, and 4) why it happens.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 4, 2014. Series: Following Jesus. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3-12.

Jesus’ resurrection isn’t supposed to just change history—it’s supposed to change you and me. The New Testament everywhere says we should expect to encounter the risen Christ. And that’s how our lives are changed. 

Peter is a case study for us, because we have here the story of how the resurrected Christ sat down with Peter at the fire by the Sea of Galilee—about how Peter’s life had fallen apart and how the risen Christ put it back together. How do we, too, meet and encounter the risen Christ? 

We learn four principles here: if you want to encounter the risen Christ, 1) you have to believe in the resurrection’s reality, 2) you have to understand its achievement, 3) you have to submit to its pattern, and 4) you have to live its life.

Easter is too marvelous for words, but we’re going to try. 

Luke 24 is an account of the resurrection: from the morning when the empty tomb was discovered, to the middle of the day when Jesus appeared on the road to Emmaus, to the evening when Jesus appeared to his disciples. And in that evening account, we see that Jesus said a number of things to his disciples.

We can learn three things about the resurrection of Jesus Christ from what happens that evening: 1) the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a paradigm-shattering historical event, 2) the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the key to understanding the message of the entire Bible, and 3) the resurrection is the strongest message of hope possible.

For centuries now, on the Sunday before Easter, the church has observed the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem just days before he was crucified. It’s called Palm Sunday. 

What does Palm Sunday mean? It means Jesus is king, and it’s important to see that’s not just an abstract proposition. Palm Sunday is about this: you can’t know Jesus Christ unless you know him as king. He can’t change your life unless you understand him as king. You can’t even understand who he is unless you understand him as king. 

Luke 19 teaches us 1) Jesus is the true king, 2) Jesus is the weak king, and 3) how he can be your king.
