But God
This phrase emphasizes divine intervention and sovereignty. Throughout Scripture, the phrase "But God" often introduces a turning point where God intervenes in human history, demonstrating His power and purpose. In Genesis 50:20, Joseph tells his brothers, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good." This highlights God's ability to bring about His will despite human actions. In the context of Acts 13:30, it underscores that the resurrection of Jesus was an act of God, not of human effort or understanding.

raised Him
The resurrection is central to Christian faith, affirming Jesus' victory over death and His divine nature. The Greek word for "raised" (ἐγείρω, egeirō) is used frequently in the New Testament to describe resurrection, indicating a physical rising from the dead. This act fulfills Old Testament prophecies such as Psalm 16:10, which speaks of God not allowing His Holy One to see decay. The resurrection is also a type of the future resurrection of believers, as Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 15:20-22, where Christ is described as the "firstfruits" of those who have fallen asleep.

from the dead
This phrase confirms the physical reality of Jesus' resurrection, distinguishing it from spiritual or metaphorical interpretations. The resurrection from the dead is a cornerstone of apostolic preaching, as seen in Acts 2:24, where Peter declares that God raised Jesus, freeing Him from the agony of death. The historical context of first-century Judaism included various beliefs about the afterlife, but the resurrection of Jesus was a unique event that challenged both Jewish and Greco-Roman understandings of life after death. It also serves as a fulfillment of Jesus' own predictions about His death and resurrection, as recorded in passages like Matthew 16:21.

Teaching Points
The Centrality of the Resurrection
The resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of Christian faith. Without it, our faith is in vain. It confirms Jesus' divinity and the truth of His teachings.

God's Sovereignty and Power
The phrase "But God" signifies divine intervention. Despite human actions, God's purposes prevail. This encourages believers to trust in God's ultimate plan.

Hope and Assurance
The resurrection provides hope for eternal life and assurance of victory over sin and death. Believers can live with confidence in the promises of God.

Call to Witness
Just as Paul and Barnabas proclaimed the resurrection, believers are called to share the Gospel, emphasizing the resurrection as the pivotal event of salvation history.

Living a Resurrected Life
Believers are called to live in the power of the resurrection, exhibiting transformed lives that reflect the new life in Christ.
