Paragraph:

638 "We bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers, this day he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus." ⁴⁸⁸ The Resurrection of Jesus is the crowning truth of our faith in Christ, a faith believed and lived as the central truth by the first Christian community; handed on as fundamental by Tradition; established by the documents of the New Testament; and preached as an essential part of the Paschal mystery along with the cross:

Christ is risen from the dead!
Dying, he conquered death;
To the dead, he has given life. ⁴⁸⁹
