God

The Resurrection of Christ

Christ truly rose from the dead, took again His body with all things appertaining to a perfect human nature, and ascended into heaven, where He sits until He returns to judge all men at the last day.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

— 1 Corinthians 15:20 (WEB)

Note

A bodily resurrection of a real human nature. Not a vision, not a metaphor.
