Did God the Father raise God the Son, or did Jesus raise Himself from the dead?

I think your question relates to the Trinity. Who created the heavens and the earth? According to Genesis 1, we could say God the Father, but notice that the Spirit of God is also involved (Genesis 1:2). Then there is Proverbs chapter 8, verses 22-31, where “Wisdom” was associated with the Father in Creation. Is “Wisdom” here the Son of God? If not, John 1:3 and Colossians 1:16 make it clear that the Lord Jesus was the Creator.

If we were to ask, “Who is it that saves men?” Would our answer not be the same? God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit are all involved. When it comes to the resurrection of our Lord, then, we have a pretty good idea what the answer must be:

It seems as though the answer is that all of the Trinity is involved in the Resurrection.
