Deep dives

The Condition of Christ's Risen Humanity

The risen body of Christ establishes a direct connection with his disciples, emphasizing that he is not a ghost and that his body is the same that was crucified, bearing the marks of his passion. This physical interaction reinforces the reality of his resurrection, which possesses the unique properties of a glorious body that is no longer confined by space and time. Unlike those he raised from the dead, such as Lazarus and Jairus's daughter, whose return to life was temporary and purely earthly, Christ's resurrection leads to a new existence beyond temporal limitations. His ability to appear and disappear freely illustrates the transformational nature of his divine human state, which transcends ordinary human experience.
