Is Jesus' resurrection a new beginning for Christians?

Answer 1

It is the application of the meaning of the resurrection which is a new beginning for Christians. They 'rise' to a new life at the moment when they truly trust Christ and are born again. The hope of a future resurrection is also part of this. Being saved will also be part of a major turning point in their personal lives if it is genuine.

Historically, the resurrection was what transformed everything from hopelessness to joy. If Jesus had not truly risen from the dead then the Christian faith is a vain hope.

Answer2: The apostles knew that Jesus' resurrection was different from all others before it. People who were resurrected earlier were given human bodies but later died again. Jesus was given a spirit body that can never be destroyed. (Read Acts 13:34.) Peter wrote that Jesus "was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit." Also, "he is at God's right hand, for he went to heaven, and angels and authorities and powers were made subject to him." (1 Peter 3:18-22) Other resurrections were outstanding miracles, but Jesus' resurrection was the greatest miracle ever.He is the King of God's heavenly Kingdom, which will soon remove all badness from the earth and transform it into a paradise where people will live forever. (Luke 23:43) None of these things could happen if Jesus had not been resurrected.

After Jesus was executed, Jewish religious leaders came to Pilate and said: "Sir, we recall what that impostor said while he was still alive, 'After three days I am to be raised up.' Therefore, command that the grave be made secure until the third day, so that his disciples may not come and steal him and say to the people, 'He was raised up from the dead!' Then this last deception will be worse than the first." Pilate told them: "You may have a guard. Go make it as secure as you know how." That is exactly what they did.-Matthew 27:62-66.

At his burial, Jesus was put in a tomb carved out of a huge rock, and a large stone covered the entrance. The religious leaders wanted Jesus to stay in that tomb forever. But Jehovah had a totally different thought. Three days later, two disciples, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, came to the tomb. There, they found the stone rolled away and an angel sitting on it. The angel told the women to look inside the tomb and see that it was empty. The angel said to them: "He is not here, for he was raised up." (Matthew 28:1-6) Jesus was alive!

Jesus said: "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." (John 11:25) This promise of Jesus is guaranteed to come true. Jehovah has given Jesus the power to resurrect those who will rule in heaven and the billions who will live on earth. Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection guarantee that there will be no more death. So we can have the strength to endure any trial and even to face death with courage!

Jesus' resurrection gives us the confidence that people will be judged according to Jehovah's loving standards. Paul told a group of men and women in Athens that God will "judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed" and that "he has provided a guarantee to all men by resurrecting him from the dead." (Acts 17:31) God appointed Jesus to be our Judge, and we can be sure that his judgment will be fair and loving.-Read Isaiah 11:2-4. Watchtower magazine 11/15/2014
