Acts 2:24
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Death tried to hold Jesus, but it was impossible because of who He is and what the Father had purposed.
The resurrection was not merely a miracle but an inevitability. Death could not keep its hold on the Author of Life. The agony of death was loosed because Christ's divine nature and sinless perfection made it impossible for the grave to contain Him.
