Paragraph 2. ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD
653
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.”523 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.'”524
Christ’s Resurrection is closely linked to the Incarnation of God’s Son, and is
its fulfilment in accordance with God’s eternal plan.
