We live, as someone has said, between the Easter of Christ’s bodily resurrection and the Easter of our future, bodily resurrection. We live in a time of spiritual resurrection through the gospel, but the spiritual resurrection we experience in Christ is but a foretaste of a fuller hope. True Christian victory will be fully realised at the resurrection of our bodies, when all of creation will be brought into subjection to Christ. That future victory has powerful practical implications for the way we live in the present.
