John 2:18-22 (ESV) Andrew and Edwin notice even the apostles didn't understand Jesus's statement about the temple of His body until after the resurrection.

Through the lens of the resurrection, we do...

Psalm 106 (NKJV) Andrew and Edwin recognize how Israel played the part of the prodigal son over and over and over again.
