Germanic languages have this thing were you can use present tense to indicate a change of state. You can find this in older English phrases and in the modern german language
"christ is risen" = Christ has risen
"Er ist verstorben" = He is passed away (literally) = He has passed away.

You can indicate the past using a present tense verb in German
"Ich bin seit drei Tage angekommen"
Literally "I am since three days arrived"
