Reason 3: Jesus predicted His resurrection in advance
Not only did Old Testament authors predict Jesus' crucifixion, but so did He. He came to earth knowing He would die as a martyr, the ultimate sacrifice for our sin. Here are two verses that give insight into this point from the book of Mark.
Mark 9:31 ““I, the Messiah, am going to be betrayed and killed and three days later I will return to life again.””
Mark 10:33–34 “I, the Messiah, will be arrested and taken before the chief priests and the Jewish leaders, who will sentence me to die and hand me over to the Romans to be killed. They will mock me and spit on me and flog me with their whips and kill me; but after three days I will come back to life again.”
How do you think Jesus felt knowing He would ultimately die a painful death? How does His obedience to the Father encourage you?
