A Resurrection Worldview

What if your life’s lens is the problem, not your circumstances? We open with a misdirected trip to the “eye doctor” that turns out to be a bank, then turn to 1 Corinthians 15 to ask a bigger question: how is your vision? Through a careful reading of verses 29–34 and the wider chapter, we examine why a resurrection worldview isn’t a theological accessory but the frame that makes sense of risk, ethics, suffering, and purpose.

We unpack the tricky phrase “baptized for the dead” without inventing a second way of salvation, showing how Paul uses a local practice to expose logical inconsistency. From there, we trace his argument: if death ends all, then eat and drink; but if Christ is raised, the present has weight and the future has certainty. We contrast the temporal mindset with an eternal focus, revealing how bad company and bad ideas corrode morals, while a resurrection lens produces moral clarity, grounded hope, and durable joy.

Along the way, we look at Peter’s transformation from denial to fearless proclamation and Saul’s encounter on the Damascus road as living proof that the risen Jesus changes people. Then we bring it home: how does resurrection hope meet intellectual doubt, chronic illness, deep mourning, and the fear of death? By anchoring us in the love of God that nothing can sever, by promising justice and restoration, and by reordering desires so they serve, not rule. If you’ve never trusted Christ, the invitation stands. If you have, test your lens and realign your habits with what outlasts the grave.
