Bible Question:
in John 2:19 Jesus said destroy this temple and in three "I"will raise it up. John 2:21 said that he spake of the temple of his body. someone explain this. Question: did Jesus raise himself from the dead? |
Bible Answer: Hi, If you know who Jesus is then you know that the answer is yes. 1 Cor 15:15, "Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised." If you have witnessed Jesus, you know that He is God. He is Lord. He is the Holy One. 1 Cor 15:20, "But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive." By a Man also--so also in Christ all will be made alive. 1 Cor. 15:45,"The last Adam became a life-giving spirit...The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man." NKJ Jesus on the cross gave up His spirit, but He is also Spirit. See Rom 6:5, "For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection..." Verse 4 says "Christ was raised through the glory of the Father." Rom 8:10, And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the Spirit (Capital not NASB) is alive because of righteousness. But 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 indwells you." So I would say that your John 2:19 passage was about the authority He has. I'm going to have to leave the NASB for verse 18, "So the Jews answered and said to Him, "What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?"NKJ Or, with a capital, "What sign do You show us as Your authority for doing these things?"NASB |
