Did Jesus really resurrect?
There is much about the resurrection of Jesus which we do not understand. But we know that it occurred as we have stated and at about the time indicated. ~ The Urantia Book, 189:1:4 (2021.3) [2]
At ten minutes before three, intense vibrations of commingled material and morontia activities began to issue from Joseph’s new tomb, and at two minutes past three o’clock, this Sunday morning, April 9, A.D. 30, the resurrected morontia form and personality of Jesus of Nazareth came forth from the tomb. ~ The Urantia Book, 189:1:1 (2020.4) [3]
His material or physical body was not a part of the resurrected personality. When Jesus came forth from the tomb, his body of flesh remained undisturbed in the sepulchre. He emerged from the burial tomb without moving the stones before the entrance and without disturbing the seals of Pilate. ~ The Urantia Book, 189:1:7 (2021.6) [4]
He did come forth from this tomb of Joseph in the very likeness of the morontia personalities of those who, as resurrected morontia ascendant beings, emerge from the resurrection halls of the first mansion world of this local system of Satania. ~ The Urantia Book, 189:1:9 (2021.8) [5]
The first act of Jesus on arising from the tomb was to greet Gabriel and instruct him to continue in executive charge of universe affairs under Immanuel, and then he directed the chief of the Melchizedeks to convey his brotherly greetings to Immanuel. Jesus spoke the first words of the postmortal career. “Having finished my life in the flesh, I would tarry here for a short time in transition form that I may more fully know the life of my ascendant creatures and further reveal the will of my Father in Paradise.” ~ The Urantia Book, 189:1:10 (2022.1) [6]
