AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:19 in which He also went and preached to the spirits now in prison, |
Bible Question: (1 Pet. 3) Jesus preached to the spirits in prison. Does that refer to hell? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Ginger G! No one is really sure what 1 Peter 3:19 means. Some believe that it means that Jesus went to hell during His time in the grave and preached to those there. Others believe that it only means that He went to the paradise side of the grave and preached to the OT saints before resurrecting them. Others believe that it simply means that Christ was preaching to the lost at the time of Noah. Whatever it means, it is clear that it is meant to be an example of God's grace.
