Great Sermon! Let GODs Word speak for itself, our Lord Jesus Christ was the passover lamb, 1 Cor 5v7, as such the passover lamb, was required to be observred for 4 days,Gen 12v3-28, this same time period is also observed in Abrahams offering of Issac,Gen 22v1-24, God told Abraham to sacrifice Issac and the next day they left and took 3 days to get to the alter making 4 days. Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm sunday 10th nissan,and 4 Days brings you to Wednesday 14th nissan, thus fulfilling GOD's law, Jesus was buried Wednesday afternoon just before sunset, Jesus was in the tomb for 3 days and 3 nights (72hrs), in Jewish law a person was not declared officially dead until after 72hrs,read the account of Lazarus,John 11v1-46,Jesus has just stated that He is the ressurection and the life, now he proves this FACT. Jesus arrival was perfectly timed on the 4th day when it was in their belief that ressurection was impossble. So it was with the ressurection of Jesus as He arose sometime after 6pm Saturday,being the first day of the week and after 72hrs!. Could anything be any clearer, Jesus is who he claimed to be and the Word of God is in harmony. He has risen INDEED, for our Justification, AMEN |
