START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Acts 2:24
Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
IMPOSSIBLE FOR DEATH TO KEEP ITS HOLD / ACTS 2:24
With God anything is possible. He has control over all things – including life and death. But there is another spiritual reason that death could not hold on to Jesus. It has to do not only with who Jesus is, but how He lived as a human. Jesus’ miraculous resurrection was inevitable, or guaranteed, because death had no claim on Jesus’ life. Death has a claim on all our lives because it is the penalty for sin (Genesis 3:16-19; Romans 6:23). But Jesus lived a sinless life – never rebelling or offending God His Father in any way – so death had no claim on Him. Because death had no right to Jesus’ life, it basically overstepped its bounds and lost its power to keep Him in the grave. It is a spiritual reality that death could not hold on to Jesus. Speaking of His own life Jesus said, “No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again” (John 10:18).
