JOHN 11:44
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Biblically, wisdom is the divine guidance; insight and understanding that come from God Himself.
Resurrection means to rise or stand again. Resurrection is a person and that person is Jesus Christ (John 11:25).
John 11:25
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Jesus is not only the resurrection but also the LIFE. God replicated His life in us by breathing into man. Thereby, giving us the zoe kind of life (Genesis 2:7-9)
Genesis 2:7-9
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Devil came to steal the eternal life freely given to us by God but Jesus retrieve it back through His death and resurrection.
WHAT IS THE WISDOM BEHIND JESUS’ RESURRECTION?
Resurrection is all about the restoration of power to the body of Christ.
The wisdom behind Jesus’ resurrection is to give us power over death. Romans 8:11. The real power is not in His death but His resurrection because it is not everybody that dies rose.
Romans 8:11
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
The wisdom behind Jesus’ resurrection is to give us power that will enhance change of level. Mathew 28:5-6.
Mathew 28:5-6
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.
