Peter Roselle: Choose the Better Resurrection (Hebrews 11:35)
Peter speaks at King of Kings Sunday service on 9/19/2021. Hebrews 11:35 says, “Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.” This message focuses on the fact that as Christians we face daily choices to choose the better resurrection. On one hand we can aspire to more like Christ by “picking up our cross daily.” (Matthew 6:24). We mature as Christians as we “put to death the old man,” and the receive the resurrection life here and now. Or we can allow our carnal nature to seduce into sin and allow our nature to resurrect, which leads to sin, which results in death (Romans 6:23). Choose your resurrection. 

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

In our text verse, the early Christians refused to renounce their faith for the temporary benefit of a compromised life. Definition of algorithm: “a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing a goal.” Each of us has ever-changing algorithms that drive the decisions we make throughout our lives.

Biblical Example of an algorithm.
James 1
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 
14-15 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

Galatians 5:24 “those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”
Colossians 3:5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Romans 6
1-2 Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! 
How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 
3-4 Or do you not know that as many of us as were
baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 
Therefore, we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ 
was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united together 
in the likeness of His death, certainly 
we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified 
with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 
8 Now if we died with Christ, 
we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9 knowing that Christ, 
having been raised from the dead, dies no more. 
Death no longer has dominion over Him. 
10 For the death that He died, 
He died to sin once for all; 
but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 
11 Likewise you also, 
reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, 
but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 4
17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, 
that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 
18 having their understanding darkened, 
being alienated from the life of God, 
because of the ignorance that is in them, 
because of the blindness of their heart;
19 who, being past feeling, 
have given themselves over to lewdness, 
to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But you have not so learned Christ, 
21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been 
taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 
22 that you put off, concerning your former 
conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,
