We need to have something to look forward to and work toward. And if we will trust God and do our part, we can see our dreams come to pass—even if they’ve been shattered and we need to begin again.

Most believers view the resurrection of the Lord Jesus either through a historical or a prophetical lens. They tend to look backward or forward.

Before we dive into those, let’s take a quick look at how we limit ourselves by adopting a purely past- or future-tense view of the resurrection.
