1. Acts 13:37 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Who did God raise from the dead and what does that confirm about him?

Acts 13:37 (ESV)

37 but he whom God raised up did not see corruption.

Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. His body did not see decay and this confirms that he is the Holy One who is referenced in Psalm 16:10. Since Jesus is resurrected, he will live forever and he must be the king whose kingdom will never end (see 2 Samuel 7:1–29). The permanent dominion of the Messiah is only possible if he never sees corruption.1
