Cross and Resurrection
Jesus'cross is an example of painful toil. His resurrection is the reward of painful toil.
In the cross He showed us how we are to bear suffering. In His resurrection He showed us what we are to hope for.
On the Creed 3, 9

Prayer: You come, O Christ, humble in appearance. You were scorned, whipped, crucified, and killed. Yet on the third day You rose again, and on the fortieth day You ascended into heaven, where you sit at the right hand of the Father and where no human being sees you!Commentary on Psalm 53,4
