Paragraph 2. ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD
646
Christ’s Resurrection was not a return to earthly life, as was the case with
the raisings from the dead that he had performed before Easter: Jairus’
daughter, the young man of Naim, Lazarus. These actions were miraculous events,
but the persons miraculously raised returned by Jesus’ power to ordinary
earthly life. At some particular moment they would die again. Christ’s
Resurrection is essentially different. In his risen body he passes from the
state of death to another life beyond time and space. At Jesus’ Resurrection
his body is filled with the power of the Holy Spirit: he shares the divine life
in his glorious state, so that St. Paul can say that Christ is “the man of
heaven”.511
