Bible Question:
where was Jesus (spirit) between the crucifixion and the resurrection? a friend at work asked this question. my friend feels that perhaps during this time he went to get the keys to hell.any scripture or ideas on this, would help todays discussions at work. thanks and God bless, Dan |
Bible Answer: Eph 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) After searching what this lower part of the earth means in scripture I am convinced that Jesus descended there during the three days and did indeed release captives and this is why it was said saints were seen raised and in jerusalem. I don't fully comprehend that part but it happened. And I think it has to do with legality of fulfilling all things and satisfying the Justice and Judgement of a Holy God. There is more to the spirit realm than we comprehend. |
