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.

He is the God of the Living

Mar 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

He is the God of the living not of the dead.

ARE you catching that?

Those dead in sins and trespasses are no longer His, they are consigned to Hell, for all eternity, for they have rejected Him.

Proof - Absolute proof that there is no second chance at life after death. Proof that life is temporal and that there is an eternal life and an eternal death on the other side.

Notice it is in the Words written in RED!

This is God Himself talking and He says God is the God of the Living. Those that choose Him and Choose life.

What a powerful statement yet so utterly underrated. This verse, this section should put a lot of falsehoods to rest but we do not study them enough, we do not listen to Him in His own Words Enough.

Purgatory? Not a thing.

Praying your loved ones out of Hell? Not a thing.

He is the Way the Truth and the Life.

That is the Truth they need to hear and know.

That is the Life they Need.

We have the Way to tell them how to get there.
