Subject: were OT saints seen after Jesus was resu |
Bible Note: Greetings JHMO! Matthew 27:52-53 gives us the account of those "Old Testament" saints who were raised to life and who 'appeared to many' after Jesus' death on the cross. I agree: this miracle is amazing! However, Matthew does mention this in chapter 27, verses 52 and 53, and I see the cause as: the death of Christ, and the effect as: many would come to know the truth about Jesus, which is stated by the centurion in verse 54: "Truly this was the Son of God!"
