Pamphlet #7186

Jesus, who was, while living here on earth with us, God in the flesh, sacrificed His flesh and blood life on that Roman cross on Wednesday, shedding His sin free blood to provide a way for all mankind to passover from eternal death to eternal life.

Crucified Wednesday and arose from the dead on Saturday! Yes, Saturday, not Sunday, as must churches erroneously teach!

Crucifixion on Wednesday - Resurrection on Saturday

Jonah 1:17  Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Matthew 12:40  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

Friday Crucifixion to His rising on Sunday at sunrise as most churches teach is obviously false teaching!

John 19:31  The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day (the First Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread) was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

Luke 23:55 And the women also, who came with him from Galalee, followed, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid. [56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments, and rested the sabbath day (Saturday, the weekly sabbath), according to the commandment.

John 20:1  The first day of the week (Sunday, the day after Jesus arose from the dead) cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

That being the case, how did we come up with the valueless sunrise services, which many churches hold, that have no biblical value!
He was already gone, from the tomb, before sunrise!

Jesus was crucified and became the Passover Lamb on a Wednesday
and was placed in the tomb just before sunset,
which would have begun the new day, Thursday,
which was a High Sabbath, (see John 19:31)
the First Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread,
the 15th of Nisan.

That being the case, He [His body] was in the grave three days and three nights as it is written.

 
     1st Night & Day = Wednesday sunset to Thursday sunset.
        2nd Night & Day = Thursday sunset to Friday sunset.
        3rd Night & Day = Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.

It makes sense to me
that if Jesus really arose on Saturday, after sunset
Mary wouldn't have discovered it until Sunday morning because she rested on the seventh day sabbath.
(That is most likely why the Lord made a point of telling us Mary didn't go to the tomb on Saturday) See Luke 23:56
