New City Catechism Question Forty-Nine

Summary

In this episode, Pastor Jon discusses the New City Catechism question number 49: Where is Christ now? He explains that the question is not about finding Christ like in a Where's Waldo book, but rather about understanding the Christian belief that Jesus rose bodily from the grave and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. Pastor John emphasizes the importance of the bodily resurrection of Jesus and how it is not just a metaphor or analogy. He also touches on the eternal nature of Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The episode concludes with a reminder that understanding God is a lifelong journey.

Takeaways

The Christian belief is that Jesus rose bodily from the grave and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. The bodily resurrection of Jesus is not a metaphor or analogy, but a statement of truth. Jesus is both fully God and fully man, and while he is omnipresent, there is also a way in which he is in one place at a time. Understanding God is a lifelong journey and we may never fully grasp everything about Him.
