Bible Question:
Lu 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost In the above quote it plainly says that jesus says to god to take his spirt. This leads one to believe that juses went to be with his father. Yet when we read this quote Joh 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: (in part) This leads one t believe that jesus had not yet accended to be with his father. Another quote that is somewhat confusing is when jesus says Lu 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. This again leads one to believe that that very same day jesus and the man on the cross next to him are going to a place called paradise. I have heard explanations that the puncuation is wrong yet for over 1500 years no one has stepped forward to make this right it remains the same in the bible we have to day so i am inclined to believe that it is either a error or it is in the right place where it belongs. Can you tell me where was jesus for those three days if not in heaven with his father or paradice with the man on the cross? Thank you |
Bible Answer: Greetings Ali123 and welcome to the forum! You ask some very good questions, those points can be confusing as the bible does not state in exact words. Here is what is believed to of occured. In Luke 23:46 Jesus was offering up His human soul to God without blemish. He handed it over to the Father - no one took His life from Him. After Jesus gave up His spirit He went to paradise. This is why Jesus could say to the thief "today you will be with Me in paradise". Paradise is easier to understand if you go to Luke 16:22-27. This passage talks about Abraham's bosum which is also believed to be paradise. It was here that Jesus, as the saying goes, took the keys to hell. When He left there He saw Mary. He told her Touch me not for I have not yet ascended to my Father. In the time between seeing Mary and Thomas it is believed that He went to present the prverial keys to His Father and then returned to earth where after 40 days He ascended to sit at the right hand of His Father. There are other theories such as Mary was not allowed to touch Jesus because she had faith that it was Him and Thomas was allowed because he didn't. I hope this helps your understanding some. prayon |
