Footnotes:
Psalm 16:9-11 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely. For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is
fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
Isaiah 53:10-11 But the Lord was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand. As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities.

The Divine Power of Life over Death
Besides Jesus, there are nine other biblical accounts of resurrection
John 11:4 Jesus said regarding Lazarus, “This sickness is not to end
in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be
glorified by it.”
Mt. 10:28 Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the
soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Heb 2:14-15 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He
Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He
might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.
The Life-Giving God
Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Job 33:4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
John 5:21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives
them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom
He wishes.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”
John 5:24
