WHO ROSE JESUS FROM THE DEAD ?

In this article I will do Biblical exploration of the question: Who rose Jesus up from the Dead? My aim is to bring forth the logical case of Three Persons in One and only true God as they work together in the resurrection of Christ Jesus.
Who Rose Jesus from The Dead?

A. Himself, Jesus rose Himself from the dead
B. Holy Spirit rose Jesus from the dead
C. God the Father rose Jesus from the dead
D. All above is true, Therefore the Triune God rose Jesus

Context:

It will be of great help if I give this question a context, so that even a non-Christian or a non-Biblical reader can enjoy the beauty and the glory in God’s inspired Scriptures. I will use Gospel according to Mark:

And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him, saying, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him over to the Gentiles. And they will mock him and spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And after three days he will rise.” (Mark 10:32-34 ESV)

A.Himself, Jesus rose Himself from the dead

Turning to John 2, Jesus answering the Jews who he knew will not believe him unless they see signs and wonders(see John 4:48, 6:30)

So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?”Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking about the temple of his body. When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. (John 2:18-22 ESV)

From John 10, Jesus’ toughest teaching which the Jews and other disciples could not stand it, Christ Jesus taught the following:

I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.” (John 10:14-18 ESV)

Notice the Relationship Between Father and Son:

They know each other, The Father knows the Son, and the Son knows the Father
The Father loves the Son (Remember love is an emotion which needs more than one person)

Jesus said crash my body, tore it apart, bruise it( Destroy this temple) and in three days He, Jesus Christ will raise his body up(I will raise it up)

He has authority to lay his life down, and has authority to take it up again. Christ Jesus laid down his life that might take it up again(he may take it up again)
Therefore Jesus rose his body up.

Extra: Good Shepherd look at Psalm 23 The Lord is My Shepherd

B. Holy Spirit rose Jesus from the dead

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

(Romans 8:1-11 ESV)

Notice the names of The Holy Spirit:

The Spirit of life
The Spirit of God

Lets turn to Jesus’ promise John 16 of sending the Holy Spirit, so we can get his words to confirm that the Spirit of life and of God is indeed the Holy Spirit in Roman 8:1-10

But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. (John 16:5-15 ESV)

Notice the name of the Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth.
At the bottom, Holy Spirit rose Jesus from the dead.

C. God the Father rose Jesus from the dead

From Psalm 8:6, 110:1 and Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians 15:27, we can be sure “that the God” is God the Father:

I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
(Ephesians 1:16-23 ESV)

More verses:

I have added the Link to ESV online Bible so that you may read the Context. Context is of number one importance when reading the Bible. I do hope and pray you will read the CONTEXT of the following verses.

This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.(Acts 2:32)

and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.(Acts 3:15)

let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well.(Acts 4:10)

but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear,(Acts 10:40)

But God raised him from the dead,(Acts 13:30)

this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,“‘You are my Son,today I have begotten you.’And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,“‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’(Acts 13:33-34)

but he whom God raised up did not see corruption.(Acts 13:37)

because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”(Acts 17:31)

but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,(Romans 4:24)

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.(Romans 6:4)

because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.(Romans 10:9)

And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.(1 Corinthians 6:14)

We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.(1 Corinthians 15:15)

knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.(2 Corinthians 4:14)

Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—(Galatians 1:1)

that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,(Ephesians 1:20)

having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.(Colossians 2:12)

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.(1 Thessalonians 1:10)

Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,(Hebrews 13:20)

who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.(1 Peter 1:21)
Notice the Apostle’s references of Jesus Christ and of God the Father:

The Father of Glory putting Christ Jesus enemy at Jesus feet
The Father raises Jesus
Jesus the Author of Life, God the Father restored Him
Jesus Christ of Nazareth crucified, whom God raised from the dead
God raised him
You are my Son,today I have begotten you
Jesus, God the Father’s Son from heaven

From above, we can deduce that God the Father rose Jesus from the dead

Important to Remember: If you do not have the Triune, how can we explain Fatherhood and Son-ship relation? Jesus can not be the Father and the Son in divine Family at the same time and same sense.

D. All above is true, Therefore the Triune God rose Jesus

From the Bible, Jesus rose himself up, Holy Spirit rose Jesus up, and God the Father rose Jesus up therefore Triune God rose Jesus from the dead.

More can be said which relates to this topic. Example: Who Created the Universe and everything in it? The Father did( Isaiah 64:8), Christ Jesus did (John 1:1), the Holy Spirit did(Job 33:4) Therefore the Triune God created the Universe and everything in it.

As I conclude, Triune God, Three Persons in One true and only God rose Jesus from the dead. Not Jesus alone, not Father alone, not the Holy Spirit alone, but all for they are One God. The Father is not the Father without the Son, the Son is not the Son without the Father, The Spirit of God is not a Spirit of God without the other. You can not have One and not the Other.
Moreover it is not God in three manifestations of God because they, all three Persons, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit repeatedly on the Scriptures they occur together,talking together(John 17 Jesus’ prayers),having different will(Luke 22:42)at the same time and space. Best example is Jesus’ baptism by John

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
(Matthew 3:13-17 ESV cf John 14:16-17)

We have Jesus being baptized, we have the Holy Spirit descending on Him, and We have a Voice from the Father in Heaven being pleased by the Son.

The only biblical explanation to the question; Who rose Jesus up from the dead? Is the Triune God period.

Bonus Verses to keep us thinking, reasoning, reflecting and glorifying God,day and night. Listen to the Cry of The Sinless, Blameless, Perfect Lamb of God, crying out as He is forsaken because of our sins as the ultimate wrath of Holy, Loving and Just God(Isaiah 53) resting on Christ Jesus, my sin bearer, Savor and Redeemer and I do pray He is yours too:

And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:33-34 ESV)

MGA TANONG AT SAGOT

Tanong : Ayon sa Rev. 22:18- Binabalaan ko ang lahat na nakarinig sa hula sa aklat na ito; ang magdagdag ng anuman sa nakasulat dito ay bibigyan ng Dios ng salot na nakasulat dito. 19-  At ang magbabawas ng anuman sa mga hulang ito ay aalisan ng Dios ng kanyang bahagi sa puno ng buhay at sa banal na siudad na binabanggit dito. Gayon din naman sa iba pang aklat ng bibliya tulad halimbawa sa Deut.4:2-'wag niyong dagdagan at babawasan ang mga utos na ibinigay ko sa inyo, mula sa Panginoon na inyong Dios, at ito ay susundin niyo.. Mababasa rin po natin sa Isaias 34:16-Tingnan niyo sa aklat ng Panginoon at basahin,wala ni isa man sa mga sinasabi ang hindi matutupad.walang mawawala ni isa man sa mga hayop na iyon,sa pagkat iyan ang ipinasya ng Panginoon at siya mismo ang magtitipon sa kanila.Pero bakit kayong mga katoliko ay napakarami ang mga turo at sinusunod na traditon na pawang hindi mababasa o nakasulat sa bibliya ???

SAGOT : Iyong Isaias 34:16- ay wag nating isipin na iyon yung bibliya, o ang kabuohan ng bibliya na gamit natin sa ngayon.. Una, nangbanggitin ni Isaias na patitingnan ang librong iyon, at aalamin roon ang katotohanan,ukol sa kabuhatan at kautusan ng Dios, ibig pong sabihin ay naroon na iyong librong iyon tapos ng sulatin.

At iyon ay nasa humigit kumulang 800 years bago pa  isinilang si Kristo. at ang mga pangyayari,milagro, aral ni Kristo at ang mga gawa ng mga apostoles, ay hindi mo pa mababasa roon, dahil sa panahon na iyon ay hindi pa gawa ang bibliya, dahil ang bibliya ay nabuo lng sa mga taong 405 AD. ( sa pamamagitan ng katoliko )

Kaya, siguro maitatanong niyo ano bang libro ang tinutukoy nito?

Alalahanin niyo na sinasabi riyan sa Isa. 34:16 ay tingnan sa librong iyon ang mga ginagawa ng Dios na maliwanag na sinasabi niya na walang hindi natutupad, sa malinaw na salita, kapagnabasa mo na iyon, malalaman mo ang mga katuparan, ng mga ginagawa ng Dios na nakasulat na sa librong iyon.

At ang sinasabi ng Dios riyan na walang isa man ang mawawala at hindi mawawalan ng kapares ay hindi ang kapares ng libro kundi ang bawat kapares ng mga hayop.. dahil hindi naman siguro magandang isipin na ang bawat libro ng Dios ay may mga kapares pa, o nanganga-ilangan pa ng kapares, dahil hindi naman manganganak ang libro. subukan niyo pong basahin ang mga talatang nauna sa 16 para lubusan po niyong maintindihan..

At ang libro po na iyan na tinutukoy ng Dios ay libro po ng Genesis.. na tinutupad ng Dios ang lunop at ng utusan niya si Noe na ikarga ang lahat ng hayop na may kanyakanya pares, at ang mga pars nga nito at talaga naman hindi mawawala dahil ang Dios mismo ang may gusto at nagpapatipon nito sa kanila. (Gen.7:1-4 iyan po ang isa sa mga halimbawa ).

Dahil kung pag-uusapan natin ang tungkol sa libro ng Dios wala po sa atin iyan, iyan ay libro Niya at hindi atin kaya naroon lng sa Kanya iyon, ito basahin niyo Rev.21:27 dito maliwanag na sinasabi ng Panginoon na ang mapupunta roon sa langit ay yaong nakasulat lng sa libro ng Panginoon. at iyon ay  wala sa atin, ang librong iyon ay nasa Dios lng, na nasusulatan ng mga pangalan ng mga taong siyang dapat lng na naroron..

At kahit kailan ay wag niyong isipin na ang bibliya ay libro ng Dios na siyang napapalooban ng buong katotohanan at mga kautusan ng Dios.

Alam niyo ba na minsan lng sumulat ang Panginoong Hesus ? ( Juan 8:6-8 ) ngunit kaano man ka importante ang sinulat niyang iyon, pero ito ay hindi mo mababasa sa bilbiya ?

Ang bibliya po ay napapalooban ng mga aral at salita ng Dios, ngunit mali po kung ito ay ituturing natin na libro ng Dios, dahil sa bibliya ay naroroon rin ang mga aral ni satanas,  ang mga salita ng mga taong mapang linglang, anopat naroroon rin sa bibliya ang lahat na aral na mabuti at aral ng masasama.

Dahil para po sa akin ang libro ng Dios ay napakabanal, baka hindi nga po natin kayang tingnan o hipoin man lang. na hindi ito nasusulatan ng mga kasamaan tulad ng mga kasamang nakasulat rin sa bibliya..

Ang bibliya po ay isang libro na napapalooban ng salita at pangaral at ng ibang pinaplano ng Dios..

Tungkol naman sa Rev. 22:18-19- ito po ang sagot ko, wala pong katoliko na nagdagdag riyan, dahil kung may bibliya ang katoliko na ang revelation ay umabot ng 23 chapter ah..iyan ang dinadagdagan na namin, o kaya 21 chater na lng,pero wala naman ah.. ang bible namin ay tama lng ang mga bersikulo at chapter, walang nadagdag o walang binabawas. ganoon rin Deut 4:2- iyong sampong utos ng Dios nanatiling sampo pa rin hanggang ngayon, hindi nama nagging siyam na lang o kaya nagging 11.. iyan po ang sagot namin..
