It was the beginning of the end of the reign of sin and death. 

In the resurrection, Jesus showed that life continued beyond the grave, in the presence of God.]]> 2017-04-30 16:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dbell16/icy2tibsq5jg/wish/169066605 What did early Christians think? dbell16 https://padlet.com/dbell16/icy2tibsq5jg/wish/169066680 For early Christians, the resurrection of Jesus totally transformed their understanding of life and death. They believed that the end of the world was imminent and that Jesus' resurrection wold be quickly followed by all people being taken into the presence of God.]]> 2017-04-30 16:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dbell16/icy2tibsq5jg/wish/169066680 A different meaning? dbell16 https://padlet.com/dbell16/icy2tibsq5jg/wish/169066791 As time passed and nothing seemed to change, the Christian view of the end of time took on a different meaning. 

The resurrection still showed the defeat of sin and the eternal separation from God that is symbolized by death. 

However, Christians realised they had to live in the life of the resurrection here on earth, which meant resisting the power of evil and allowed the Holy Spirit to guide them into living by the values and standards that Jesus followed.

This would prepare them to meet the Son of Man, both when they died and in the final judgement. ]]> 2017-04-30 16:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dbell16/icy2tibsq5jg/wish/169066791 dbell16 https://padlet.com/dbell16/icy2tibsq5jg/wish/169066965 2017-04-30 16:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dbell16/icy2tibsq5jg/wish/169066965 Key teaching - from the YouCat... dbell16 https://padlet.com/dbell16/icy2tibsq5jg/wish/169067003 "In death body and soul are separated.
