Resurrection
In plain words
Jesus rising from death to new life on the third day, and the hope of new life for all.

Jesus rising bodily from death on the third day after his crucifixion, the centre of Christian faith. It is also the Christian hope for everyone: not escape from the body but a raised, renewed life with God.
