The first witnesses and participants in Jesus' resurrection obviously weren't in heaven. Their understanding of resurrection was something that happened once you were in heaven. Jesus was radically reconfigured and redefined by resurrection. And now they were being radically reconfigured and redefined by resurrection. Jesus was special, of course. But the disciples familiar concept of resurrection as life after death was now being totally recast as life "in the land of the living." Our eternal life begins the instant we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and surrender all to Him. Eternal life is now. Live like it!
