The LORD Jesus Christ a deceiver? His resurrection proved Him to be the Truth and no deceiver. Yes, it was God's proof that He was His Son. See Romans 1:4, "And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead." The marginal rendering is, "determined to be the Son of God by the resurrection from the dead." The grand qualification for the office of apostle was a sight of the LORD Jesus Christ in the flesh after His resurrection from the dead. See how Paul declares this in 1 Cor. 9:1, "Am I not an apostle? am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our LORD?" Again, in 1 Cor. 15:3-8, "And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time." Paul was an eyewitness to the fact that Christ was appointed by the Father to the work of His people's salvation, that He wrought out a perfect righteousness to the law, that He suffered the doom and death due to His people, triumphed over the power of the grave for them, ascended into heaven's highest glory, where He ever lives as the Witness to the validity of the Father's purpose, the perfection of His salvation and the reality of the work of His own Blessed Spirit in the experience of His redeemed. Jesus risen is the Father's attestation to the Truth of His Messiahship, Righteousness and Salvation. All the members of His body in the purpose, decree and determination of the Father rose in Him. This is the earnest of the Spiritual resurrection of every soul given unto Him and blessed with His eternal and unceasing interest in them.
