-it was not a resuscitated body destined to die again (as Lazarus, others)
-it was not a reincarnated body (Hebrews 9:27)
-it was a resurrected body (still physical but “transformed and empowered”)
3. The resurrection validates the uniqueness of Christ. The empty tomb makes Him unlike any other teacher or religious leader. Because of the resurrection Jesus can be known today.
