JESUS AND THE IMPORTANCE HE SAW IN RESURRECTION
Jesus knew he had to be in Jerusalem, he knew he must be killed and resurrect. In this article, we will review the events.
Most of our knowledge about Jesus comes from the apostles and therefore we are bringing here the highlights.
Jesus is giving his disciples a detailed review of the upcoming events:
According to the book of Matthew:
“From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life”. (16:21)
After the crucifixion – Jesus was crucified and died at noon. Upon his death, an earthquake struck the area:
“And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city,” (27:52-53)
Joseph of Arimathea was keen to ensure that the corpse was buried according to the Jewish law, put the body in a new shroud and buried his body in the tomb just before sunset (27:57-60).
Women who followed Jesus had carried and prepared spices for anointing the body of Jesus Christ, and before they went to rest on the weekly Sabbath day, they made sure his tomb was sealed.
“And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulcher” (27:61)
The Resurrection
Then the body of Jesus Christ was in the tomb for three days and nights, and near sunset, he rose with the promise of bringing salvation to humankind.
The women that prepared the spices arrived early in the morning and found that Jesus had already risen,
“And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified” (28:5).
Jesus met his eleven disciples and sent them to us, to the world, with his promise
“I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (28:19)
