How Story Structure Reflects Death and Resurrection Cycles
The pattern of death and resurrection is not just a theme in Scripture—it is the shape of all redemptive history. It is the structure woven into the fabric of every biblical story, a pattern repeated again and again, revealing that all things move toward Christ’s death and triumph over the grave.
This is not just literary beauty; it is divine authorship. The Spirit has embedded the gospel’s shape—descent into death, then ascent into glory—into the very structure of Scripture itself.
Consider how the pattern unfolds:
- Creation falls into corruption → but a New Creation is promised.
- Noah’s world is buried in the flood → but a new earth emerges.
- Joseph is cast into the pit → but rises to rule.
- Israel is enslaved → but brought into freedom.
- The Temple is destroyed → but is rebuilt.
And at the center of all these stories is Jesus Himself, who descended into death and was raised in glory—the true fulfillment of the pattern written from the beginning.
The shape of the cross is the shape of Scripture itself.
