===Denominations=== ==== Roman Catholic Church ==== The resurrection of Jesus is the good news that the Roman Catholic Church proclaims:<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a5p2.htm#638|title=Catechism of the Catholic Church - PART 1 SECTION 2 CHAPTER 2 ARTICLE 5 PARAGRAPH 2|website=www.scborromeo.org}}</ref> "the revelation in Jesus Christ of God's mercy to sinners".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c1a8.htm#1846|title=Catechism of the Catholic Church - PART 3 SECTION 1 CHAPTER 1 ARTICLE 8|website=www.scborromeo.org}}</ref> The importance of the resurrection is connected to the incarnation of Jesus: by becoming incarnate God has assumed every human unto himself, for his humanity is made of every human (just as a temple is made of stones), and by resurrecting himself God has also resurrected every human.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a3p1.htm#460|title=Catechism of the Catholic Church - PART 1 SECTION 2 CHAPTER 2 ARTICLE 3 PARAGRAPH 1|website=www.scborromeo.org}}</ref> By rising from the dead, Jesus is the beginning of the resurrection of the dead on Judgment Day and the beginning of the spiritual resurrection (justification or "new life") of sinners,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a5p2.htm#654|title=Catechism of the Catholic Church - PART 1 SECTION 2 CHAPTER 2 ARTICLE 5 PARAGRAPH 2|website=www.scborromeo.org}}</ref> since Jesus is the first human resurrected by God, as the head of the human race as God incarnate, whereby in him all people have already been resurrected and justified, since his resurrection is the principle of the resurrection of the dead and justification of sinners.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a5p2.htm#655|title=Catechism of the Catholic Church - PART 1 SECTION 2 CHAPTER 2 ARTICLE 5 PARAGRAPH 2|website=www.scborromeo.org}}</ref> The resurrection is a historical yet transcendent event. The historical resurrection transcends spacetime by affecting every human, from Adam and Eve's repentance after the fall to the resurrection of Lazarus (who returned to an earthly life) to the conversion of Saint Paul to the resurrection of the dead on Judgment Day.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a5p2.htm#647|title=Catechism of the Catholic Church - PART 1 SECTION 2 CHAPTER 2 ARTICLE 5 PARAGRAPH 2|website=www.scborromeo.org}}</ref> By rising from the dead, Jesus shows what the risen bodies of the saints (i.e., justified sinners) will be like. From the moment of his incarnation, Jesus' soul experienced the [[beatific vision]], because he is true God and true man,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a3p1.htm#470|title=Catechism of the Catholic Church - PART 1 SECTION 2 CHAPTER 2 ARTICLE 3 PARAGRAPH 1|website=www.scborromeo.org}}</ref> and from the moment of his resurrection Jesus' body shared in his soul's experience of the beatific vision. At the resurrection, Jesus' whole humanity was deified, and so, shares in the personal mode of existence of the Second Person of the Trinity.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a5p2.htm#646|title=Catechism of the Catholic Church - PART 1 SECTION 2 CHAPTER 2 ARTICLE 5 PARAGRAPH 2|website=www.scborromeo.org}}</ref> [[Deification]] includes four properties: impassibility (freedom from evil, i.e., temptation, sin, suffering, error, inconvenience, boredom, Satan, and death), subtility (freedom from restraint by the laws of science, which includes [[shapeshifting]], [[teleportation]], [[time travel]], control over nature, and superhuman senses and prowess), agility (one's body will not act faster than one's mind or give in to emotion and impulse, for the body will be as obedient to the soul as the soul is to God), and clarity (resplendent beauty and the [[five crowns]]).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a5p2.htm#645|title=Catechism of the Catholic Church - PART 1 SECTION 2 CHAPTER 2 ARTICLE 5 PARAGRAPH 2|website=www.scborromeo.org}}</ref>
