Even in his resurrection, Jesus doesn't do things the way that a worldly victor would do them. Did he rise and melt away his enemies? Did he even make a big deal about it? No, on both counts. Nobody is even there when he rises from the tomb, and the first witnesses are women who were doing the work of preparing the dead. He tells them to pass the word along, and then he later appears to the hapless disciples. This was the inauguration of the new Kingdom, the first signs of a new Heaven and new earth to come, and Jesus keeps the work in the hands of the unlikely.
