In the New Testament traditions it is the objective nature of this event that empowers the believing response of individuals. While Jesus’ resurrection is not complete without peoples’ subjective response, it cannot be reduced to it. In Jesus’ resurrection a victim is raised up from death, so that the executioner does not triumph over him. A part of creation is rescued from annihilation and elevated into the glory of God, as a foretaste of the destiny that awaits the rest. The resurrection of Jesus transcends the dichotomy of subjective and objective dimensions.57 As a saving event his resurrection has a relational dimension and a purpose that is not complete without its subjective appropriation by those who have faith in it. Yet this appropriation is a response to something that has happened apart from their response to it.
