In Brief: Faith in the Resurrection has as its object an event which as historically
attested to by the disciples, who really encountered the Risen One. At the same
time, this event is mysteriously transcendent insofar as it is the entry of Christ's
humanity into the glory of God.
The empty
tomb and the linen cloths lying there signify in themselves that by God's power
Christ's body had escaped the bonds of death and corruption. They prepared the disciples
to encounter the Risen Lord.
Christ,
"the first-born from the dead" is the principle of our own resurrection,
even now by the justification of our souls and one day by the new life he will impart
to our bodies
