I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
Nicene Creed
On Sunday, I continued with a series of homilies on the Nicene Creed, and the focus was on the Creed's declared belief in the "resurrection of the dead." Here is a succinct summary on that belief by Metropolitan Kallistos Ware from his book The Orthodox Way:
As Christians se believe not only in the immortality of the soul but in the resurrection of the body. According to God's ordinance at our first creation, the human soul and the human body are interdependent and neither can properly exist without the other. In consequence of the fall, the two are parted at bodily death, but this separation is not final and permanent. At the Second Coming of Christ, we shall be raised from the dead in our soul and in our body; and so, with should and body reunited, we shall appearbefore our Lord for the Last Judgement.
