What is the symbol of jesus' resurrection?

Answer 1

Many people associate Easter as to celebrating the resurrection of Christ.

Actually men have taken the Biblical significance of the occasion and added symbols and customs that originate from ancient peoples who served false gods.

For example, consider a well-known emblem of Easter (RESURRECTION of Christ) in some countries-the rabbit.

"Ancient pagans used the rabbit as a symbol of the abundant new life of the spring season. . . . The first record of the bunny as an Easter symbol is found in Germany about 1572," says The Catholic Encyclopedia for School and Home.

Likewise, the Easter-time (RESURRECTION OF CHRIST) use of hot cross buns, brightly colored eggs, or chocolate bells has its roots in pagan religion.

The frog, regarded as a symbol of fertility and the Egyptian concept of resurrection, was considered sacred to the frog-goddess

The Westminster Dictionary of The Bible states that at one time "the original spring festival was in honor of the Teutonic goddess of light and spring known in Anglo-Saxon as Eastre. As early as the 8th century the name was transferred by the Anglo-Saxons to the Christian festival designed to celebrate the resurrection of Christ" which now some call Easter.

In the bible harvests are used to denote resurrection. Barley first, Wheat, then Grapes.

In religious paintings the peacock is the most common symbol for resurrection.

Answer 2

Before Adam and Eve founded a world of mankind by having children, Jehovah God determined that his only-begotten Son would be the one to redeem the human race from enslavement to sin and death. (Compare Genesis 3:15; 4:1, 2; Luke 11:49-51.) With the coming of the Messiah, the Jewish system of things, including its priesthood, sacrifices and temple services, entered its last days. Messiah's arrival did mark the start of a new epoch in human history. Therefore, the apostle Peter spoke of Christ's being "made manifest at the end of thetimes." But why did the apostle say that God's Son was made manifest "for the sake of you who through him are believers in God"? Before Jesus came to the earth, no one could take advantage of the redemptive work that he would accomplish. Only in the first century could believers start doing so. By exercising faith in the Christ, these believers were also putting faith in the Father, the One who had sent the Son to this earth. (John 17:21) Furthermore, as Peter stated, what Jehovah God did for his Son-resurrecting him and giving him "glory" by exalting him to his own right hand-provides sound reason for putting our faith and hope in the Almighty. How so? Just as the Most High raised his Son, he can also resurrect others of his servants. Since Jesus Christ was raised to immortal heavenly life, his first-century disciples could be sure that they, too, would share with him in celestial glory. The resurrection of God's Son stands as an unchangeable guarantee that humans who are sleeping in death will be raised to life.-1 Corinthians 15:12-22. That is why the fact of Jesus' resurrection needed to be well established, and it was. There were upward of 500 disciples who saw the resurrected Son of God. (1 Corinthians 15:6)

Answer 3

The symbol is simply that the Resurrection is the climax of the Incarnation. It confirms the divinity of Christ and all the things which he did and taught. It fulfills all the divine promises made for us. Furthermore the risen Christ, the conqueror of sin and death, is the principle of our justification and our Resurrection.

Answer 4

His empty tomb. Through His resurrection, we no longer have to fear death, because He...my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (and I hope your Lord and Savior) conquered death. He has saved us from ourselves, and saved us from death. We WILL die, BUT we don't have to fear it, and I know I'm saved, and I know I'm going to heaven.
