I am a little confused about something.
I was taught that Christ conquered death when he was resurrected. But didn't Christ, and the Old Testament prophets, and even the apostles, also raise people from the dead? What makes those resurrections less significant than Christ's own resurrection?
Or am I being too literal? Perhaps it means that Christ conquered death by providing us with eternal life when he was resurrected, and the resurrections beforehand were about returning someone from a state of physical death to a state of physical life.
