Practise Resurrection

This is my second reading of Practice Resurrection. I have generally the same impression as the first time, that this is a great book about what it means to become mature in Christ and why the local church has to be a part of that. I think this is an important book for local church leaders to read about maturity and I think this is a book that counters the idea among some Christians that the focus of Christianity is on the salvation event. Christianity is not about an event, but about practicing to become more like Christ. Just like playing an instrument or doing anything else well, if we want to become better at it, we must practice. If we want to be more like Christ, we have to practice being like Christ.

This is also a long reflection on the book of Ephesians. I appreciate that Peterson grounds pretty much all of his book on a particular piece of scripture. While he moves around it is the book of Ephesians that is the heart.
