 ===Theology of the resurrection===
-Teaching us that this is part of the gospel in [[1 Corinthians 5:4]], the [[Apostle Paul]] also taught that if the resurrection did not occur, then Christian preaching is useless, the faith of Christians is useless ([[1 Corinthians 15:14]]) and Christians are yet in their sins ([[1 Corinthians 15:17]]). Elsewhere Paul tells us that Christ's resurrection was involved in the justification of believers ([[Romans 4:25]]).

 The belief that Jesus Christ was resurrected physically is vindicated by Christ's own words in [[Luke 24:39]]

+: It may indeed be objected by some critic that a resurrection from the dead is so incredible that no amount of evidence would suffice. Such an attitude seems prejudiced and unscientific, but let that pass. Let us assume that the resurrection of an ordinary man is indeed incredible. But such a line of reasoning cannot apply to the One whom we are considering. He was unique in all He did; in all He said; in all He was. Whichever way one looks at Him, He is in a class by Himself. Even apart from the resurrection, there are excellent and convincing reasons for believing that He was 'God manifest in the flesh'. Is it, then, so incredible that such a One should rise from the dead? It would have been far more incredible if He had not. It is, indeed, the profoundest of mysteries that He should ever have died 'for us men and for our salvation': but, having died, it is no mystery that He should have risen.

 : But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because ... Jesus Christ our Saviour on the same day rose from the dead. For He was crucified on the day before that of Saturn (Saturday); and on the day after that of Saturn, which is the day of the Sun, having appeared to His apostles and disciples, He taught them these things, which we have submitted to you also for your consideration.

 [[Edmund P. Clowney]], First President of Westminster Theological Seminary
 : The resurrection shows that [[God]] has made the crucified both Lord and Christ. At the right hand of the Father, [[Jesus]] rules until the day that he will come to restore and renew all things. With the resurrection of Jesus and his entrance into glory, a new age has begun.

 ===Dating of the resurrection===
-The [[New Testament]] fails to chronicle the date of which Jesus was crucified and when he was resurrected. However, may historians have attempted to place a date on both events. The two most commonly given dates for the resurrection are April 9, 30 AD and April 5, 33 AD.
