Christians believe that (1) God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are one personage and NOT three personages united in one purpose, and (2) that God is a spirit, and does not have a body of flesh and bone. That would make Jesus a spirit as well, and therefore, the resurrection never happened (??), or did it?.
Can someone explain this paradox, since if Christ did resurrect why would He become a spirit again and not keep His resurrected body. If it wasn't that big of a deal to resurrect, why did he show His resurrected body to his apostles and disciples? If He decided to become a spirit again, would that not cheapen the whole triumph of resurrecting?

Hence, the rabbits, notable for their fecundity, and the eggs, colored like rays of the returning sun and the northern lights or aurora borealis.鈥?br>
