“Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. And when He (Jesus) had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body which is given for you.’” (Luke 22:1, 19) My family and I went to a Seder (Passover) dinner […]
Was Jesus in the Grave Three Days and Three Nights or Not?
March 24, 2012 by
If Jesus died on a Friday afternoon and He rose again on a Sunday morning, then how does one come up with Him being in the grave for three days and three nights? I’d like to begin to answer this question by first pointing out how Christ Himself declared that He’d be in the tomb […]
Was Jesus in the Grave Three Days and Three Nights or Not? (conclusion)

(The third in a series. For Part 1: click here. For Part 2: click here.) [They] placed on [Simon of Cyrene] the cross to carry behind Jesus. (Luke 23:26d) It’s impossible to erase the affects of a true encounter with Jesus from the conciousness of an individual. Do you think that Simon ever forgot what […]
