Summary/Abstract: The article aims at the presentation of the functions fulfilled by Jesus Christ's resurrection. The following functions have been presented and discussed in the article: the motivating one, the revelatory one, Christological one, salvific one, faith-creating one, church-creating one and anthropological one. Presented functions complement, entail and supplement one another. For that reason the resurrection should be presented holistically together with its personal core – Jesus Christ. Comprehensive, and at the same time multifaceted, presentation of the resurrection, highlights the unique character of Christianity with Jesus Christ, who died, rose from the dead and lives, as its core.
