The Resurrection's Proof
Commentators unanimously explain that the resurrection did not make Jesus the Son of God, but rather powerfully 'declared' or 'proved' who He already was. While Jesus was human 'according to the flesh' (v. 3), His resurrection was God's ultimate public confirmation of His divine nature and His claims to be God's Son, setting Him apart from any other person who was ever raised from the dead.
