Who resurrected Jesus? Did he resurrect himself?

You will see this issue clearer if you understand how the resurrection truly works. It is not done by reanimating (forget zombies) but by relocation. Jesus explained it by telling that: “… whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” (Matthew 10:39). This means that you do not get the a life back and you do not even get a new life but you FIND it by the very process of dying! You can’t find it otherwise. You find life in dying for Jesus Christ sake, which means for the sake of the little one, the oppressed one, the outcast, etc. Jesus Christ himself died for this very cause, so it counts for him as well. The concept of finding something is impossible without the concept of location applied to it. There is no finding if there is no different location. Life is all about location, so you can find it. Being dead you can’t bootstrap yourself but you can still relocate. In other words the very question about the moving agent is rather irrelevant. Of course God the Father relocated Jesus Christ but it is also not a mistake to say that Jesus Christ relocated himself. This does not make much difference in practical terms. Where it makes a lot of practical sense is to, however, understand that different location has different causality. Therefore nobody who dies actually ever experienced death. We talk about death only as technical term to understand how life works but it does not have any objective impact on us. And this is the true salvation through Jesus Christ and true relief for us. Death does not really touch us! No more than dying in a computer game has any impact whatsoever on the character with endless lives who starts it all over again.
