The Meaning and Saving Significance of the Ressurection - The truth of Jesus' divinity
is confirmed by his Resurrection. He had said: "When you have lifted up the
Son of man, then you will know that I am he. The Resurrection of the crucified one
shows that he was truly "I AM", the Son of God and God himself. So St.
Paul could declare to the Jews: "What God promised to the fathers, this he
has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus; as also it is written in the
second psalm, 'You are my Son, today I have begotten you.' Christ's Resurrection
is closely linked to the Incarnation of God's Son, and is its fulfillment in accordance
with God's eternal plan.
