Jesus was resurrected because he had offered himself like a sacrifice.
“My Servant, will justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities. Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the booty with the strong; because He poured out Himself to death, and was numbered with the transgressors.” Isaiah 53:11-12
It is the law of reversals—that which you grant for the sake of others’ will be granted to you on the last day. But as a hint of what is to come, and to grant us the Kingdom to live in now, Jesus was resurrected from the dead. And this offer is not just for Him, but for all of us who choose to live a righteous life before God and to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
