Rejected Once, He knew that rejection would happen time and time again.

 Rejected Once, He knew that rejection would happen time and time again.

When you stop and consider that when man sinned, God made a plan, a way out for man, that we might have life and escape the death we brought on ourselves.

That when this plan was made, the Maker, designed it so that He who knew no sin, Himself, was going to die for the one who sinned.

God made a plan thousands of years before He died knowing all along that He was going to pay the ultimate price for those that rejected Him.

He also knew, that once He died for all, that they might have life, He knew that most would reject Him all over again.

Knowing this, the rejection time and time again, knowing the pain, knowing the cost, He still set that plan into motion that we ourselves might be free of the sin debt when we so freely chase after the sin.

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Who among us would do so much just to be rejected time and time again?

What day Did He give up the ghost?

 

I have seen so many say, “it doesn’t matter which day you think Jesus died on, I don’t want to start the debate, you can believe what you want to.” But yes it does matter!

Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

3 days and 3 nights, Jesus tells us how long He will be in the grave and Friday crucifixion does not pass muster!

If Jesus says 3 days and 3 nights then that is how long it must be!

Born in Bethlehem, came true but wasn’t a time reference.

Born of a virgin. Came true.

If Christ was wrong about this 3 day period then nothing He said matters. Atheists, lost folks, all know He can not make so simple a mistake and be God!

It does matter. It is doctrine.

Thursday has to be the day. There are two Sabbaths on this Passover week and one of them must be Friday and one must be Saturday and Jesus died on Thursday the day of preparation for the High Sabbath (Passover).

It can not be Wednesday for 2 reasons:

1. That would total four days.

2. If there was a day between the two Sabbaths the women would have gone to prepare His body on that day.

It had to be back to back Sabbath Days. The Passover had to be this week, the death had to be this week for the Sacrificial Lamb to die and the Blood to be shed to meet the Passover promise.

Remember Passover is on a set Date not a set Day.

All those out there saying that it doesn’t matter, believe what you want?

It is time for us to stand and believe and say yes it does matter. For if Christ is wrong on this one point then how can we believe anything else He said?

We cant just shrug and say oh well.

It does matter.
