Bible Question: I was reading Ephesians 4:9 ..what does it mean that he "descended". please help. thank you. god bless ! |
Bible Answer: Hi Minerva Paul's point is that Jesus descended into the grave, the world of the dead, before rising from the dead having broken the power of Satan (Colossians 2.15)and breaking the power of death for all believers (Hebrews 2.14) by rising far above all (compare Ephesians 1.19-22).
