"We must see beyond the historicity of the empty tomb on that first Easter day,and understand the extension of the resurrection-life and resurrection-power of Jesus Christ in every Christian. Christianity is not just the remembrance of an historical resurrection, but is comprised of the vital dynamic of the risen Lord Jesus functioning in the activity of the Holy Spirit of God by enlivening Christians with the "saving life of Christ" (Rom. 5:10). Christianity is Christ the resurrected Lord Jesus living out His life in Christians every day, to the glory of God."
Excerpt taken from: The Extension of the Resurrection
The historical resurrection of Jesus is extended for the benefit of all men
as the resurrection-life of Jesus Christ by the Spirit causes men to have life out of death spiritually.
