Paragraph 2. ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD
655
Finally, Christ’s Resurrection – and the risen Christ himself is the principle
and source of our future resurrection: “Christ has been raised from the
dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. . . For as in Adam all
die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.”528 The risen
Christ lives in the hearts of his faithful while they await that fulfilment. In
Christ, Christians “have tasted. . . the powers of the age to
come”529 and their lives are swept up by Christ into the heart of
divine life, so that they may “live no longer for themselves but for him
who for their sake died and was raised.”530
