Jesus' Power Over Death

John 10:17-21 
17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.” 20 And many of them said, “He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?” 21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

Jesus was not raised from death by God the Father, but raised Himself as God the Son - not only did Jesus make blind men see, as God He has power over life and death.  So who do you say Jesus is?  Just a man, or God among us?  Only He can give you life as you take Him at His word and submit to Him in admitting you sin against God and trust His Son alone for deliverance from justice. No religion or philosophy offers this free redemption.
