Bible Question:
Matthew 12:40 says after being crucified, Jesus spent three days in the center of the earth. Can anyone explain the purpose of this and what He was doing in the center of the earth? Chusarcik |
Bible Answer: Jesus went to hell for three days and He defeated the devil and his demons.When Jesus died on the cross he still had to go to the world of the dead(hell)to win over what satan had stolen from him.When Satan tempted Eve in garden he brought us under sin and He had authority over us so Jesus went to hell to strip Satan of all the power that he had over us. |
