 Resurrection of Christ (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
esus Christ's resurrection from the dead is one of the cardinal facts and doctrines of the gospel.
The resurrection is a public testimony of Christ's release from his undertaking as surety, and an evidence of the Father's acceptance of his work of redemption.
The importance of Christ's resurrection will be seen when we consider that if he rose the gospel is true, and if he rose not it is false.

The commemoration of St. Anastasia in the second Mass on Christmas day is the last remnant of the former prominence enjoyed by this saint and her church in the life of Christian Rome.
This Mass was originally celebrated not in honour of the birth of Christ, but in commemoration of this martyr, and towards the end of the fifth century her name was also inserted in the Roman canon of the Mass.
Anastasia, having gone from Aquileia to Sirmium to visit the faithful of that place, was beheaded on the island of Palmaria, 25 December, and her body interred in the house of Apollonia, which had been converted into a basilica.

 SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Were sacraments necessary in the state after sin and before Christ?
Christ's Passion is the final cause of the old sacraments: for they were instituted in order to foreshadow it.
Therefore before Christ's coming there was need for some visible signs whereby man might testify to his faith in the future coming of a Saviour.
For it has been stated that the Passion of Christ is applied to men through the sacraments: so that Christ's Passion is compared to the sacraments as cause to effect.

 A Sinner's Justification Before God
Christ, as the Lord our righteousness, fills both testaments with his glory; for thus considered he is the sum of the Old Testament promises and prophecies, and the substance of Old Testament types and figures; and thus considered he is the treasure hid in the field of the New.
Christ, as the Lord our righteousness, has brought in such a way of knowing and of enjoying God, as the first Adam and his covenant were utter strangers to; to wit, a seeing God face to face, in the presence chamber of heaven, and a being filled with God, even with all his fulness.
In these counsels Christ himself lay, as man and Mediator, and was considered by God as the finisher of sin, and as the fulfiller of all righteousness; but this gave not an actual existence to the incarnation, death, or sufferings of Christ, before the fulness of time.

The central belief of Christianity is that by faith in the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ individuals are saved from death both spiritual and physical by Redemption from their sins (i.e.
The book of Acts, in the Christian New Testament (NT), says that Christ's followers were first called Christians by non-believers in the city of Antioch, where they had fled and settled after early persecutions in Palestine, probably just a few years after Jesus' death and alleged ascension.—Acts 11:19, 26.

 Were people saved before Christ
Before Christ came to the earth, God promised all people that one day He will pay for their debt, and so he counted their debts paid even before Christ died.
When I look in the past before Christ was born, I discover many religious leaders and philosophers that had the wisdom of God, and so I conclude that they were saved by Christ.
So before His birth, God credited Christ death as an “I owe you.” Just like you write down I owe you to someone, you promise that one day you will pay it.

 Naked Christs and Balaam's Ass
That is, the submersion of Christ in a jar of urine is offensive to evangelicals at least partly because the humiliation and scandal of the Incarnation is, in practical terms, typically ignored in contemporary evangelical art.
When Christ humbled himself to become a man, it was an immense act of humiliation; but when the God-man was nailed, naked, to a plank of wood, tortured and killed in the most publicly shameful and excruciatingly painful method in human history, the humiliation is unfathomable.
Displaying the masculinity of Christ was not the only way the artists instructed their audiences—Steinberg also shows paintings where the Christ Child stares out from the painting while nursing on the Madonna’s fully displayed breast, and others which focus on the circumcision of the infant Messiah.

 PlanetPapers - Piss Christ - Paradoxes of Aesthetics
With Piss Christ, in terms of its public reception, it is the representative element - the title and the description of its creation which subordinate the image.
The whole effect of Piss Christ is because, powerfully, what you see is not what you expect to get - the external reference of sacredness is entirely undermined by the representative elements of the image, where the effect of blasphemy is felt.
This notion of "the image itself" is a major misunderstanding of the nature of art: the subject depicted, the means of its creation, the title it is given, the history of its reception, and the circumstances in which it is displayed, are all dimensions of the work and its effect on the viewer (51).
