Jesus Christ, the Divine One, known as Emmanuel, meaning God with us, was both God and man. He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and it was He, the Christ, who rose from the dead, not from a state of life, but from death itself. For to this end, Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living. When He rose, He was revived, indicating He had been unconscious, not in a state of conscious mental activity. Jesus Christ was made flesh, converted into flesh, until He became flesh and was flesh. As God in human flesh, He took part in flesh and blood in the same manner as we do, in order that He might die. Through death, He annulled him who had the power of death, that is, the devil. Jesus was a human being, made human, taking on human nature at birth, tempted in all points as we are, suffering as we do, and forced to resist the pull of human nature. He, God, became man so that He could die for us, that our sins might be erased and forgiven. Jesus Christ died and was dead for three days and three nights. His life, residing in His blood, was poured out on Calvary's Cross, given for us. If He was not dead, then the penalty of our sins is not paid, and we are without hope. But God the Father, who still reigned in high Heaven with life inherent in Himself, raised Jesus from the dead, not from life, but from death. It was Christ Himself who was dead and was revived. The resurrected body was no longer human; Christ was resurrected immortal, once again changed. As He had been converted into mortal human flesh and blood, subject to death for the purpose of dying for our sins, now, by a resurrection from the dead, He was changed into immortality. He is alive forevermore, a living Savior, not a dead Savior, having been dead only for three days and three nights. God the Father raised Him from the dead, and He lives forevermore.
