CHRIST’S CRUCIFIXION WAS NOT ON FRIDAY

And His resurrection was not on Sunday

The Chronology of Christ's Crucifixion and Resurrection

Tuesday: Jesus Christ ate an early-evening Passover meal with His disciples and instituted the New Covenant symbols. Jesus was then betrayed by Judas, arrested and during the night brought before the high priest.

Wednesday: Jesus was crucified and died around 3 p.m. This was the preparation day for the annual, not weekly, Sabbath, which began that evening. Jesus' body was placed in the tomb at twilight.

Thursday: This was the high-day Sabbath, the first day of Unleavened Bread. It is described as the day after the Day of Preparation.

Friday: The high-day Sabbath now past, the women bought and prepared spices for anointing Jesus' body before resting on the weekly Sabbath day, which began at sunset.

Saturday: The women rested on the weekly Sabbath, according to the Fourth Commandment. Jesus rose around sunset, exactly three days and three nights (72 hours) after burial, fulfilling the sign of Jonah and authenticating Jesus' Messiahship.

Sunday: The women brought the prepared spices early in the morning while it was still dark. Jesus had already risen. He did not rise on Sunday morning, but at sunset the day before.

OMG!!!!! I just agreed with Mr. Head!!! I feel... woozy...

I really can't see how this matters. Granted, there are some Christian denominations that make a fuss about going to church on Saturday, but fconsidering our calender was invented in the middle ages, and there probably wasn't any leap year in Christ's time, the days of the week have shifted so much there is no telling about anything. Is there any day-specific commandment other than the Sabbath?

The feeling will pass as you become more accustomed to it.

Marvin you are starting to worry me old chap. Your whole life seems to revolve around Jesus and the events of over 2000 years ago. I suggest that you go out and get a lovely prostitute and maybe take some cocaine old chap. I think you need to live a little!

An interesting thought: We do not know for certain that he did not leave the tomb immediately after the rock was moved into place. I mean, the only way first the ladies and then the disciples knew something was awry was the stone being moved. I never could see the son of God laying around for three days and then leaving. I think he may have "rose", left and then when he thought it was time, moved the rock.

Very good thinking indeed Infogeek and you are absolutely correct. Marvin left out one of the most important events that took place within the given time frame. He either forgot to mention, or just plain didn't know, that Christ went into hell and preached to the spirits imprisoned there who never had the chance to be saved by grace. He also snatched the keys of death, hell, and the grave from Satan. Hmm... imagine the look on his face when he saw Christ entering onto his turf, after he thought that he had gotten rid of Him once and for all. Read 1 Peter 3:18-19. No sir, the Son of God wasn't lounging around the tomb for 3 days at all. He had plenty of work to do. GCJ

One thing that I never understood is why God made it so difficult on himself. HE'S GOD. INFINITELY POWERFUL. Snap your fingers and fix it, man! What's with the dying on the Cross and the three days and the going down to Hell? Such a pain in the neck. CROSS YOUR ARMS AND BLINK. WAVE A WAND. You're God, aren't you??

BulbousHead, Thats exactly why He's God and you aren't. You'd have taken the easy way out and no one would have been saved. GCJ

That makes no sense. HE'S GOD. He can take the easy way out AND save everyone. How can he do that? BECAUSE'S HE'S GOD. He can do anything.

Interesting question:

I would put it more towards the fall, late September maybe. Easier for travel, no storms and kids might actually enjoy going to school.
