RESURRECTION
"Resurrection" means being miraculously raised to life from the dead.
In the case of Jesus, all four of the biblical Gospels present Jesus, in different subtle ways, not merely having come back to life, but having become something strangely different. Most intriguingly, each of the Gospels has a story – different stories in every case – of Jesus's followers meeting him afterwards and not recognising him, until he did or said something familiar that made the penny drop.
In some sense, resurrection meant being the same Jesus, and yet not the same. The resurrection of Jesus can be found in the Bible at Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24 and John 20-21.
