YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhat does grace mean in the Bible? Will God resurrect our cremated bodies - or do we need to be buried in the ground to affect the Christian hope of resurrection? How does Jesus fit it to Old Testament law?
In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird explore the deep connections between 'hesed' in the Old Testament and 'charis' in the New, offering a rich picture of God’s love and faithfulness. They tackle the sensitive topic of cremation and Christian burial, affirming the unshakable hope of resurrection.
Finally, together Mike and Tom unpack how Jesus fulfils— not abolishes —the law, showing the continuity between the covenants and the forward-looking nature of practices like the Sabbath.
