189:1.1 At two forty-five Sunday [[morning]], the [[Paradise]] [[incarnation]] commission, consisting of [[seven]] unidentified [[Paradise]] [[personalities]], arrived on the scene and [[immediately]] deployed themselves about the [[tomb]]. At ten minutes before three, [[intense]] [[vibrations]] of commingled [[material]] and [[morontia]] [[activities]] began to issue from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_of_Arimathea Joseph]'s new [[tomb]], and at two minutes past three o'clock, this Sunday [[morning]], April 9, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_AD A.D. 30], the [[resurrected]] [[morontia]] [[form]] and [[personality]] of [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] came forth from the [[tomb]].

189:1.2 After the [[resurrected]] [[Jesus]] emerged from his [[burial]] [[tomb]], the [[body]] of [[flesh]] in which he had lived and wrought on [[earth]] for almost thirty-six years was still lying there in the [[sepulchre]] niche, undisturbed and wrapped in the linen sheet, just as it had been laid to rest by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_of_Arimathea Joseph] and his [[associates]] on Friday afternoon. Neither was the stone before the entrance of the [[tomb]] in any way disturbed; the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_(emblem) seal] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] was still unbroken; the [[soldiers]] were still on guard. The temple guards had been on continuous [[duty]]; the [[Roman]] guard had been changed at midnight. None of these watchers [[suspected]] that the object of their [[vigil]] had risen to a new and higher [[form]] of [[existence]], and that the [[body]] which they were guarding was now a discarded outer covering which had no further [[connection]] with the delivered and [[resurrected]] [[morontia]] [[personality]] of [[Jesus]].

189:1.3 [[Mankind]] is slow to [[perceive]] that, in all that is [[personal]], [[matter]] is the [[skeleton]] of [[morontia]], and that both are the [[reflected]] [[shadow]] of [[enduring]] [[spirit]] [[reality]]. How long before you will regard time as the moving image of [[eternity]] and [[space]] as the fleeting [[shadow]] of [[Paradise]] [[realities]]?

189:1.4 As far as we can [[judge]], no [[creature]] of [[Nebadon|this universe]] nor any [[personality]] from another [[universe]] had anything to do with this [[morontia]] [[resurrection]] of [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]]. On Friday he laid down his life as a [[mortal]] of the realm; on Sunday [[morning]] he took it up again as a [[morontia]] [[being]] of [[the system]] of [[Satania]] in [[Norlatiadek]]. 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. We can also [[record]] that all known [[phenomena]] associated with this [[mortal]] [[transit]], or [[morontia]] [[resurrection]], occurred right there in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_of_Arimathea Joseph]'s new [[tomb]], where the [[mortal]] [[material]] remains of [[Jesus]] lay wrapped in burial cloths.

189:1.5 We know that no [[creature]] of the [[local universe]] [[participated]] in this [[morontia]] [[awakening]]. We [[perceived]] the [[seven]] [[personalities]] of [[Paradise]] [[surround]] the [[tomb]], but we did not see them do anything in [[connection]] with [[the Master]]'s [[awakening]]. Just as soon as [[Jesus]] [[appeared]] beside [[Gabriel]], just above the [[tomb]], the [[seven]] [[personalities]] from [[Paradise]] signalized their [[intention]] of [[immediate]] departure for [[Uversa]].

189:1.6 Let us forever [[clarify]] the [[concept]] of the [[resurrection]] of [[Jesus]] by making the following [[statements]]:

189:1.7 1. 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_(emblem) seals] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate].

189:1.8 2. He did not emerge from the [[tomb]] as a [[spirit]] nor as [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]]; he did not appear in the form of the [[Master Son|Creator Sovereign]], such as he had had before his [[incarnation]] in the likeness of [[mortal]] [[flesh]] on [[Urantia]].

189:1.9 3. He did come forth from this [[tomb]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_of_Arimathea Joseph] in the very likeness of the [[morontia]] [[personalities]] of those who, as [[resurrected]] [[morontia]] [[ascendant]] [[beings]], emerge from the [[resurrection]] halls of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_47#47:3_THE_FIRST_MANSION_WORLD first mansion world] of this [[local system]] of [[Satania]]. And the [[presence]] of the [[Michael]] [[memorial]] in the [[center]] of the vast court of the resurrection halls of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_47#47:3_THE_FIRST_MANSION_WORLD mansonia number one] leads us to [[conjecture]] that [[the Master]]'s [[resurrection]] on [[Urantia]] was in some way fostered on this, the first of [[the system]] [[mansion worlds]].

189:1.10 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]]. He thereupon asked the [[Most High]] of [[Edentia]] for the certification of the [[Ancients of Days]] as to his [[mortal]] [[transit]]; and turning to the assembled [[morontia]] groups of the [[seven mansion worlds]], here gathered [[together]] to greet and welcome their [[Creator Son|Creator]] as a [[creature]] of their order, [[Jesus]] spoke the first [[words]] of the postmortal [[career]]. Said the [[morontia]] [[Jesus]]: " 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 [[the Father|my Father]] in [[Paradise]]. "

189:1.12 [[Jesus]] now began the [[contacts]] of the [[morontia]] level, being introduced, as a [[creature]], to the requirements of the life he had [[chosen]] to live for a short time on [[Urantia]]. This [[initiation]] into the [[morontia]] world required more than an hour of [[earth]] time and was twice [[interrupted]] by his [[desire]] to [[communicate]] with his former [[associates]] in the [[flesh]] as they came out from [[Jerusalem]] [[wonderingly]] to peer into the empty [[tomb]] to [[discover]] what they considered [[evidence]] of his [[resurrection]].

189:1.13 Now is the [[mortal]] [[transit]] of [[Jesus]]—the [[morontia]] [[resurrection]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man]—completed. The [[transitory]] [[experience]] of [[the Master]] as a [[personality]] midway between the [[material]] and the [[spiritual]] has begun. And he has done all this through [[power]] [[inherent]] within himself; no [[personality]] has rendered him any [[assistance]]. He now lives as [[Jesus]] of [[morontia]], and as he begins this morontia life, the [[material]] [[body]] of his flesh lies there undisturbed in the [[tomb]]. The [[soldiers]] are still on guard, and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_(emblem) seal] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_governor governor] about the rocks has not yet been broken.
