1 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | mbooker | 66164 | ||
Good Morning EdB Did Jesus, by his own blood, enter in once into the holy place (Heb 9:12), after he died or after he was resurrected. I ask because of the following passages of scripture: Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. John 20:16-17 Here, after his resurrection, Mary could not touch Jesus because he had not yet ascended to the Father. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. John 20:26-27 But here, he told Thomas to thrust his hand into his side, which leads me to believe that by this time he had ascended to the Father. Meredith |

Meredith I have had the luxury of reading everyone else’s opinion and now I will offer mine. There are two realms the Physical of which we are most familiar and the Spiritual of which we are mostly ignorant. I think the bible reflects both in this situation. Upon death Jesus spiritually went to Hades (Abraham’s bosom) preached the “Good New” then lead captivity captive, he took those spirits home to heaven. At the same time he presented His blood upon the altar in heaven ( I read this as literal but it very well could have be symbolic). The reference in John with Mary is after Jesus’ resurrection and he is in the physical and Jesus was telling Mary to let go He had a lot to do before his physical ascension into heaven in forty days. I think the whole issue of what Jesus was saying to Mary was clear to the early believers and I don’t think it became a question until various false teachings took issue with Jesus’ resurrection. Since then everyone seems to want to put a different spin on what Jesus was really saying and meaning here. However the facts speak for themselves Jesus took the righteous spirits out of Abraham’s bosom and took them home to heaven. I think it safe to assume He too must have went to present them to the Father. Hebrews tell us Jesus literally or symbolically presented His blood upon the Altar which is in heaven then again He must have been there. We know Mary touched Him so it wasn’t an issue of Him having physical form. We know from Tim’s language study that he was really saying don’t hold me back I have much to do before my ascension. We know he ‘Physically’ ascended into heaven not until forty days later. So I think it is safe to conclude Jesus did ascend spiritually into heaven upon his death taking with Him the spirits that had previously died in righteousness and were in Abraham’s bosom awaiting their Messiah. While in Heaven Jesus literally or symbolically offered His blood upon the altar of God. Then He returned to earth and was united with His body and spoke to Mary foretelling of His physical ascension into heaven forty days into the future. EdB |
