“Neither wilt Thou suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption” (Psalm 16:10).
“But He, whom God raised again, saw no corruption” (Acts 13:37).
If the human brain is deprived of oxygen, brain cells begin to die in less than five minutes, and within ten minutes there will be severe permanent brain damage. But when the Lord Jesus died and was buried, His body lay in the grave for three days, yet there was no corruption in any part of it. This was miraculous, but it was God’s way of honoring His beloved Son. Although He died, and His body was really dead, yet no corruption occurred while He was in the grave. Then He rose again with a glorified body, and was seen by many for a period of forty days.
Sometimes people question the truth of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, but it is one of the most documented events in history. He was seen by many witnesses, and even the Jewish leaders knew that they were lying when they persuaded the soldiers guarding His tomb to say that His disciples came and stole the body while they (the soldiers) were asleep.
You and I do not belong to a dead Savior; we belong to a risen Savior!
