Rhett Dodson’s With A Mighty Triumph is an incredibly clear declaration of the necessity of Christ’s resurrection, which gives us confidence and hope for our own resurrection. I picked up this book expecting to read only a chapter. However, I read the entire piece in one sitting because I was amazed by how beautiful the resurrection of Christ really is.

 

Christ’s Resurrection Made Tangible

There is much danger in becoming numb to the resurrection story. You’ve heard about it in your Easter services throughout your life, and many times, the implications of Jesus rising from the dead are not dwelled upon as deeply as they should be. However, in With A Mighty Triumph, Dodson exposits the resurrection of Christ in a deep, refreshing, and clear way, entirely from 1 Corinthians chapter 15. Christ’s resurrection is a beautiful event that impacts every aspect of our lives, and should never become “old news”. Dodson’s writings elaborate on the beauty and impact of Christ’s resurrection.

Dodson makes it abundantly clear that the resurrection of Christ was a tangible event that impacted actual people. It was a real, historical event that would bring to fruition the life-giving plan that God has for His people. Dodson, logically and theologically, explains why the resurrection needed to happen, and why it is important for the Church to understand what Paul was writing in 1 Corinthians 15. Using Paul’s points, he makes a compelling case for the resurrection of Christ and its saving power for our broken world.

The resurrection of Christ transforms our attitudes, how we worship, how we evangelize, and how we live daily life. There is no hope without the resurrection of Christ.

 

The Resurrection of the Saints

While much of the book is dedicated to the resurrection of our Lord, Dodson does not neglect the resurrection of the saints. This thoughtful and hopeful work helps equip Believers with excitement as we anticipate Christ’s return and the resurrection of our bodies. I often yearn for the day where I can worship the Savior without the struggle of sin. This book has only made the that desire for holiness even stronger.

Easy to read and understand, this book is theologically rich but also practically applicable for Christians in every stage of their spiritual growth. Christ’s death and resurrection may have happened 2,000 years ago, but this book makes you feel like you are watching it unfold.

With A Mighty Triumph is a work I will return to regularly as I strive to know Christ’s unmeasurable love for His people.
