Episode Synopsis

Resurrection Is…RecreationSeventh Sunday of Easter As we come to the final Sunday of Easter, we reflect on the last and perhaps most beautiful truth we’ve learned: Resurrection is… Recreation. In John 17:20–26, Jesus prays not only for His disciples but for all who would come to believe in Him—including us. His prayer echoes the creation story: He gives us a name, shares His glory, and asks the Father to make us one with Him. Like Adam in the garden, Jesus enters a death-like sleep, has His side opened, and rises to call forth His Bride—the Church. Just as Eve was formed from Adam, we are being formed into the Bride of Christ. Resurrection is more than life after death; it is the re-creating of us into something new. We are no longer alone—we belong to Christ. Resurrection is not just what happened to Jesus. It’s what’s happening to us.
