An email came with this contained: 
         "Paul says Christianity lives or dies on the Resurrection (1Cor. 15:14, 17).  Yet, why would it be of any consequence since the Widow at Nain's son, Jairus' daughter, Lazarus, and many others rose before Jesus?  By the time he rose this was a rather common occurrence.  

         "I would think it would have been met by a resounding yawn rather than surprise followed by: So what else can you do.  Adam's act of coming into the world as a full grown adult is more spectacular."

     That's the quote, with all its grammatical errors.  The response is not complex.   Yes, many had been raised to life again, even several, as recorded in the Gospel account, at Jesus' death.  Jesus was raised to eternal life.  That simply, is the difference.  And after that resurrection, he appeared again on several occasions, not just raised to life, but to eternal life and to our Father. 

     One must be careful to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges.  Not all resurrections in the biblical record are the same.
