Restoring All Things: Biblical Roots of Christian Universalism
Restoring All Things
Jesus once said, “If I am lifted up [onto the Cross], I will draw ALL people to myself.” Paul wrote, “As in Adam ALL died, so in Christ, ALL will be made alive.” Peter preached “the restoration of ALL things [including people].” Jesus said, “Behold, I am making ALL things new.” What if that’s true? What if trusting that is faithfulness? But then what about sin, what about faith, what about judgment, what about HELL? Whatever that means.
In this class, Bradley Jersak will share his discoveries and convictions about “ultimate redemption” in ways that are honest to the biblical text and context, nuanced, and accessible to lay people.
