Who first saw Jesus risen?

According to the New Testament Gospels, a few women were the first to see Jesus risen from the dead. The Gospels vary in saying who was there first; but it was either Mary, or two women named Mary i.e.  it was both Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joses who first saw the risen Christ.

 You can read Matthew 28 in the New Testament to see more about Jesus being risen.

Who killed Jesus?
Jesus was nailed to the cross by Roman soldiers who were ordered to kill Him in this horrific way.

However, the killing of Jesus involves the lives of many people.

First and foremost, both Old and New Testament Bible show that Jesus could have saved Himself from dying since He was able to perform many miracles. He had saved others and could have saved Himself. He chose not to because He was born to die for the sins or wrongdoings of mankind.

Consider these verses which help us see that although people killed Jesus, He also chose to die for the salvation of mankind:
“…being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:8, NKJV).
Jesus ‘died for all” (2 Corinthians 5:15).
Jesus “died for us” (Romans 5:8).
Jesus “died for us” (1 Thessalonians 5:10).
“And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins…” (1 John 2:2). This means that Jesus stood in the place of mankind to pay for the sins/wrongdoings of all mankind.
The Gospel of John in the New Testament shows us that Jesus died willingly:
“…I lay down my life that I may take it again. 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 is the command I received from My Father” (John 10:17 & 18, NKJV).

He was originally brought to the soldiers by the Jewish religious leaders of the day. Then He was tried by Pontius Pilate who found Him not guilty. Pilate gave the people an opportunity to free Jesus but the religious leaders stirred the crowds up inciting them to shout “Crucify Him!” Pilate could perhaps have stopped this but for political reasons  he didn’t want to cause an uproar with the people which could have jeopardized his career.

Thus, because mankind has erred and turned away from God, he is a wrongdoer (sinner). Jesus crucifixion came about after the request of the religious leaders and the people in the crowd. He was executed by Roman soldiers. But according to the Bible, it is the wrongdoing (sins) of mankind that killed Him.

Was Jesus God?

Many people believe Jesus to be God because of what He said about Himself and because of what His life revealed. 

According to the New Testament biographies of Jesus seen in the Gospels, Jesus claimed to be the Son of God and the Son of man. He was also one with God which makes Him God. He claimed to be “I am that I am”.

Jesus was one with God the Father. More info here.
