This is the Baymaw Podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brad Billings. Today we bring to a close our discussion of the Gospels with a brief look at the Resurrection and the Great Commission.

The end of session three, almost coming. Got to capstone less and left, but let's wrap it up today.

All right, now I'm going to talk Resurrection first. If you remember, I talk a couple episodes, a few episodes go, Brad. I talked about the whole last week and how the whole crucifixion and Christmas and Resurrection, it's a hard thing for me to talk about. It's not going to change today.

We'll read it here in a moment because we've got to get every verse of chapter 28 in. We self-to-read our last chapter of Matthew.

We'll be reading it here in just a moment, but we did link in the show notes. I do have some notes written up here. I have some thoughts I'll share today.

We have the last two Resurrection Sundays that we've had at real life. We're going to link them in the show notes. If you want a little bit more preachy, a little bit more poetic, a little bit more substance.

A little bit more art, a little bit more of the stuff that captures the essence of Resurrection. Feel free to listen to those. So we're linking them there.

I hate to study this story because it just feels so cold and academic and I hate it. So we're going to do Brent, give us the first four verses of Matthew 28.

After the Sabbath, Adon, on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and going to the tomb rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning and his clothes were white as snow.

The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

The greatest event in all human history. They are great debates to take place in the nature of Christology. It's a fancy term for the theology of Christ.

If one were to think about Jesus' life in the realm of incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection, three things, incarnation. What's the incarnation Brent? What does that mean?

The birth. The birth of Jesus, the Jesus becoming flesh, God becoming a man.

Okay. And crucifixion, obviously, is death and resurrection, is new life. New life. Some of my favorite modern theologians have some great thoughts surrounding which one of these might be most significant.

I can hear you groaning already through the podcast. I can hear it through my microphone, our listeners.

Oh, saying, aren't they all significant, Marty and Brent? Yes, they are. They're all significant and they're equal. Of course, they're equal.

And yet our theology is shaped by which of these three we choose to view it through. Of course, they're all equal. And yet, practically speaking, we all pick theologically which one of these we preemannantly we give preemannist to.

Can we put as our first lens, our first filter through which we're going to see these things. Much of evangelical Christianity clings to the idea of substitutionary atomit.

In short, this idea that Jesus died your death. We'll talk more about this in session four. And in this obvious conclusion, the work would be which one of the three, if it's penal substitutionary atomit, which one's going to be most important?

Brent incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, the crucifixion, crucifixion, absolutely.

Well, in obvious conclusion for followers of this theory of atomit, it raises very important, crystallological questions about the life of Jesus. Let alone the resurrection.

I remember the story of Passion of the Christ produced by who? Well, it gives them. Yeah, it gives them.
