Surely Jesus is dead though right?
he rose from the dead, and though his body was elevated to a higher form than our regular bodies, it was still his body.
But his mortal body was dead. It still had the fatal injuries. He/it walked the earth for a time but he wasn't alive in the usual sense.
A thought that's vaguely related just occured... Oscar Wilde's 'The Selfish Giant' is a beautiful poetic story featuring the wounded risen body of Jesus. I loved this animated version when I was a kid...
