What the Resurrection Means Today
For us, the death and resurrection of Jesus (called the Paschal Mystery) means that we can now die to sin and its domination in our lives and we pass over into divine life already here on earth and more completely in heaven. Death is conquered not only in the sense that our souls survive physical death, but even our bodies will rise again.
What do we learn from Christ's Resurrection? If Jesus had not risen, our faith would mean nothing. The Resurrection makes credible everything Jesus did and taught. It discloses how Jesus accomplished God's plan for our salvation. The power of the Resurrection reminds us that grace, God, is always more powerful and effective than sin and evil.
