"Resurrection" is the term we use to describe the transformation that took place when Jesus Christ passed into a new realm of existence unencumbered by all limitations of time and space. And because of the essential unity of all reality, "Resurrection" reverberates down through all ages, before and after; it leaves no stratum of reality untouched, untransformed. It is the supreme positive fact of an otherwise apparently discordant universe. And it forms the foundation to the following tingling generalization: the most formidable negation must always crumble before the smallest consistent positive.
