"God our Father, by raising Christ your Son you conquered the power of death and opened for us the way to eternal life. Let our celebration today raise us up and renew our lives by the spirit that is within us ….." (Mass Prayer on Easter Sunday)
The power of death was definitely shattered by the resurrection of Christ. Christ's resurrection opened for you the way to eternal life. What is possible for a member of the same nature is possible for every member of that nature. Jesus Christ died as man. By rising from the dead, He proved that everyman can rise too from the dead.
The first Christian martyrs did not hesitate to lay down their lives for Christ (Revelation 12: 10) because they looked forward to their resurrection.
