How Does Jesus' Resurrection Matter?

Our conversation was rich on Sunday and seemed to land us with a significant question: 

How does Jesus' Resurrection matter? 

We viewed a 6 minute video of NT Wright. For those interested in more, you may enjoy his 2008 talk at Emory University in its entirety: 


​or with Stephen Colbert in 2008:

or his talk at Google posted in June: ​

Senior Minister

The Resurrection changed everything and is changing everything. There's no way to domesticate what N. T. Wright calls this "most explosive of all moments"
"Christ is risen, the First Fruits of those who have died."
And these fruits are ripening in this created, embodied world, not in some neverneverland in the clouds. I don't understand it, but feel called to be following this new creation-in-the-making
