I was thinking of some verses throughout the NT that point to implications of the resurrection, some of which may not always occur to us (verses are from the ESV):
Acts 2:33 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.
Acts 2:36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.
Romans 4:24-25 It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.
Romans 6:4-5
We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Colossians 1:18 he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
What are some I haven't mentioned that are favorites of yours?

Maybe not a favorite, but still interesting to me - 1 Peter 3:21, that the flood prefigured baptism, "which now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clean conscience before God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him."
Also peculiar to me: "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets." Acts 3:19-21 One of the few examples of the notion of praying for the Lord's return. I find it funny that he asks them at their conversion to do this.
