By the way, I didn't mean to imply that there was NO resurrection prior to Christ's resurrection. Lazarus was raised. Many came out of their graves when Jesus resurrected. Jairus' daughter was raised. However, with very very very few exceptions most who have passed away who were Christians are now with Christ Jesus but have not received glorified bodies as of yet. In the moment, in the twinkling of the eye, they will be changed. The mortal will put on immortality. They exist today in a recognizable state. But in the future they will receive something akin to Christ's resurrected body (walking through walls even, apparently but yet physical enough to be able to eat).
In my seminary we said that Lazarus and Jairus's daughter were not "resurrected" in the same sense as that in which Jesus was. The chief difference being that they, I suppose, were going to die again. I used "resuscitate" (maybe imprecisely) for them, because anastasis seems to me to be WAY more than just a body coming back to life.
