If Jesus Is God, How Did He Become Cursed and Who Raised Him?

Galatians 3:13 says that Christ redeemed humanity from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, referring to the teaching that anyone hung on a tree was under God’s curse. Deuteronomy 21:22–23 states that a person executed and hung on a tree must be buried that same day, because such a person is considered under God’s curse. This raises questions for Christians who believe Jesus is God. If Jesus became a curse, how can God curse Himself? Also, Acts 5:30 says that “the God of our fathers” raised Jesus after he was killed by hanging on a tree. Who is this God of the fathers, and what does the passage mean for the belief that Jesus is God?
