Bible Question:
Does anyone have a specific Bible referrence that discusses where Jesus was during the three days after his death and before his resurrection? The Apostle's Creed states he was in Hell for 3 days. A song our worship leader had us sing in church last week had a passage in it about our certainty that he spent 3 days in Hell. I have been unable to find any reference that addresses this. Thanks.

Bible Answer: Ps 16:10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. In Acts 2:25 Peter, quoting the above scripture, says, "For David says of Him, (Jesus, fta) 'I SAW THE LORD ALWAYS IN MY PRESENCE; FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN. 26 'THEREFORE MY HEART WAS GLAD AND MY TONGUE EXULTED; MOREOVER MY FLESH ALSO WILL LIVE IN HOPE; 27 BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT ABANDON MY SOUL TO HADES, NOR ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO UNDERGO DECAY. 28 'YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE; YOU WILL MAKE ME FULL OF GLADNESS WITH YOUR PRESENCE.' Acts 2:29 "Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 "And so, because he was a prophet and knew that GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH TO SEAT one OF HIS DESCENDANTS ON HIS THRONE, 31 he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that HE WAS NEITHER ABANDONED TO HADES, NOR DID His flesh SUFFER DECAY. (NKJ says "that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption".) I understand Hell to be the eternal condemnation for those who have not obeyed God. Hades is the realm of souls prior to judgment. Could we conclude from the above scripture that Jesus was in Sheol/Hades during this time? |
