Matthew 16vs21 . From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priest and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again on the [b][/b]third day.

John 2vs19 : Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days i will raise it up.

Matthew 12vs40 : 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 earth

John 16vs 16 : A little while, ye shall not see me, and again, a little while, and ye shall see me because I go to the Father.

Beloved brothers and sisters and nairalanders. Let us ponder deeply about the about scriptures. It is a known fact, that Our Lord Jesus Christ resurrected on Sunday, hence we celebrate Easter Sunday in celebration of his resurrection and how he conquered death.

However, let us take into cognizance the fact that he was not crucified on friday as we are meant to believe. According to the Jews, from 6am to 6pm is calculated as one day. And from 6pm to 6am is calculated as one night. Therefore, if Christ was crucified on friday, it would contradict what He said about remaining in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.

Let it be known that Christ was arrested at about 3am on thursday morning after the last supper He had arranged for that night.

From 6am on thursday to 6pm of that same thursday is seen as one day. 6pm of thursday to 6am of friday is seen as one night. 6am of friday to 6pm of that friday is seen as two days, 6pm of Friday to 6am of Saturday is seen as two nights. 6am of Saturday to 6pm of that same Saturday is seen as three days, 6pm of Saturday to 6am of Sunday is seen as three nights.

It should also be noted that the temple Our Lord Jesus Christ was talking about was His body. But the Jews thought He meant the temple where they prayed, laboured and toiled to build for years. This is where man's wisdom is very foolish before the sight of God as our Lord was speaking in Spiritual terms and not the physical.

Therefore, in the spirit of easter, let us come together to celebrate this glorious resurrection and let us know that whatever is written must surely come to pass and may not be understood by many, as the word of God is very spiritual and only spiritually minded people can understand.



Happy Easter Celebrations folks
Happy Sunday Nairalanders
Peace !
