Commentary on Acts 2:24
Christ's resurrection was necessary because 'it was not possible that he should be holden' by death. The Greek 'ouk en dunaton' (not possible) asserts metaphysical impossibility - death had no legal claim on the sinless one. Having satisfied justice's demands, Christ possessed inherent right to life. God 'loosed the pains of death' (Greek 'lusas tas odinas'), using birth imagery - death's labor pains producing resurrection life. This establishes justification's foundation: our righteousness derives from His inability to remain dead.
