But this is not merely apologetics. We shouldn't understand the resurrection in terms of proof, but rather of revelation and vindication. Also, the resurrection is different from common miracles. Also, we can't really read the Gospels as if Jesus was aware of His ultimate relation to God -- He called Him ``Abba'', which still preserves some distance. + \item[God] By the resurrection, God was shown in an (a) suffering, (b) new life and (c) unconditional divine love. These themes weren't uncommon in pre-Christian Judaism, but Jesus' resurrection reiterates them. In these three themes, we also see (a) the Son, (b) the Father and (c) the Spirit. + \item[Human beings] The first apostles, starting with Paul and continuing with Matthew and Luke, explained the resurrection with strong trinitarian language. However, it should also be noted that the idea of the Trinity came up much later than the apostles and evangelists were active. + \item[The world] The resurrection shows that God's plan to resurrect human beings and the world has already been initiated. + \end{description} \end{chapter} |
