Acts 2:24 is helpful also:
Quote:
|
God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.

That is, that the strength of death is sin, the wages of sin is death. Where there is no more sin, there cannot be any death. So when death tried to hold the Lord Jesus, it could not, because there was no more sin to be held to His account - He had paid for it all.
