Easter 2026-The Gardener Is Back In Eden

About this episode

The episode explores the significance of Jesus' death and resurrection through the lens of Genesis and the symbolism of Eden.

Have you ever wondered what happened when Jesus died? Where did he go? What did he experience? A key to understanding this might be in Jesus’ words to Mary “Don’t hang on to me, I haven’t ascended yet to my Father and your Father.” In his gospel, John draws on the rich symbolism of Genesis often, and in the story of the betrayal, death and resurrection of Jesus John uses beautiful connections to the the story of Eden to express the fullness of what Jesus has accomplished in his death and resurrection. This isn’t just a story about how our personal sins are forgiven and our ticket to heaven when we die, this is a cosmic story with cosmic implications.
