As a Christian
I might get backlash for this but I’m sorry it is mathematically impossible for Jesus to be crucified, on Friday and rose on a Sunday. Don’t get me wrong I love Holy Week and recognizing and celebrating our Lord and Savior and his sacrifice for us. He died for our sins and reconcile us back with God. But, where I have a problem with is that “Good Friday” is when Jesus was crucified how can he rise on a Sunday. Jesus was dead for 3 DAYS and 3 NIGHTS. Friday to Sunday is not 3 days nor 3 nights. So where did we get this conclusion from?
”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.“
Matthew 12:40 KJV
”saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.“
Matthew 27:63 KJV
Plus Jesus did not rise on Sunday, it was actually Saturday (Sabbath)
”In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.“
Matthew 28:1 KJV
Jesus was already risen and gone and out of the tomb by the time Mary and Mary came to see him. Which was a Sunday when they came.
A lot of people get confused with Catholicism because it taught that Sunday was the sabbath. That’s wrong Saturday is the sabbath because it is the last day of the week. 😭 Especially when you look at Jewish calendar. Saturday is the sabbath. Which means Jesus actually rose on the sabbath and wasn’t crucified on Friday. Jesus was already in the ground on Friday 😭.
Sorry to go on the rant but I’m tired of people getting this soooo wrong. #easter #goodfriday
The timeline of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection has long been a topic of debate among Christians. Many adhere to traditional beliefs, marking Good Friday as the day of crucifixion and Easter Sunday as the day of resurrection. However, a closer examination of the scripture may reveal inconsistencies with this timeline. The Bible references the duration of Jesus' time in the grave as being three days and three nights, which, as highlighted in Matthew 12:40, indicates that for this statement to hold true, a literal 72-hour period must be allocated. Looking at the traditional timeline from Friday to Sunday only accounts for parts of three days, contradicting the scriptural statement. Analysts point to the Jewish calendar, where the Sabbath is observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening, suggesting that if Jesus was indeed crucified on Friday, he would have been in the tomb for only a portion of the Sabbath before Resurrection Sunday. This interpretation raises questions about Catholic teachings that uphold Sunday as a holy day of rest, embracing the idea of Easter commemorating the resurrection. Jews traditionally consider Saturday, the Sabbath, as a day of rest and worship. Understanding these nuances offers a richer narrative around Easter, inviting Christians to reflect on the significance of the Sabbath and its implications on the Resurrection. By continuing to engage with these historical and theological discussions, believers can strengthen their knowledge and appreciation for the events of Holy Week.
