The resurrection is a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/psalms/16-10.htm">Psalm 16:10</a>, which speaks of God's Holy One not seeing corruption. The resurrection is also a cornerstone of apostolic preaching, as seen in <a href="/acts/2-24.htm">Acts 2:24</a> and <a href="/1_corinthians/15-4.htm">1 Corinthians 15:4</a>. It signifies God's power over death and His approval of Jesus' sacrificial work. Historically, the resurrection was a pivotal event that transformed the early disciples from a group in hiding to bold proclaimers of the Gospel.<p><b>did not see decay.</b><br>This phrase underscores the miraculous nature of Jesus' resurrection. Unlike David, who died and whose body decayed, Jesus' body did not undergo corruption. This distinction is crucial in Peter's sermon in <a href="/acts/2-29.htm">Acts 2:29-31</a>, where he contrasts David's tomb with the empty tomb of Jesus. The absence of decay is a testament to Jesus' divine nature and His victory over death, affirming His identity as the Messiah.
