Did Jesus Rise On Sunday ?

Did Jesus Rise On Sunday ? I have not talked about this here in years, so what say you ?

How did Jesus die on Friday and rise on Sunday and is said to have been dead for 3 days?

The popular story of Jesus being crucified on Good Friday and his resurrection taking place on Sunday has unfortunately become part of modern day Christianity. If you have an NIV bible open it to Matthew 12:40 and discover the true story. Jesus said, "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Now turn to John 11:9 and read this rhetorical question by Jesus, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight?" By putting these two verses together we see Jesus establishes he would spend in the heart of the earth 36 hours (3x12) for day and 36 hours (3x12) for night. Therefore, we know the three days and three nights he spoke of in Matthew 12 would have to equal 72 hours.

I don't know and that is not what is important to me.What is important to me is that Jesus was resurrected and He is in heaven sitting at the right hand side of the Father right now.I am waiting for Him to take my son and I home.To our permanent home.

Well it's important to me.
 
The fact that the Bible tells me that Jesus Christ was resurrected is very,very important to me.But what day it was?
 
I have said this a million times on this site, this is also a learning site, you can learn a lot here. all kinds of questions come up and what's not important to you may be important to the next guy. This is certainly not the first time that we have talked about this topic on this site. In my almost 9 years 5 or 4 months here I have seen just about everything being asked on this board, and why not ? If they feel that they want to talk about something that is Biblical they are well within their right to do so. That is what this place is here for.
 
Have a nice day Lewis.God's Blessings to you and you might want to delete some of those extra posts.
 
Since "Sunday" would be an anachronism, "the first day of the week" is more appropriate and also correct. Christ rose on the first day of the week (Mt 28:1; Mk 16:2), John called it "the Lord's Day" (Rev 1:10), and Christians met accordingly on the first day of the week worship (Acts 20:7).
 
In John 19:31 we read, "Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath…" Therefore, we see that the Sabbath in John 19:31 is not the regular Saturday Sabbath observed on non-festival weeks, but rather a special Passover Sabbath, which commenced on Wednesday at sunset, rather than Friday at sunset. Not only did it start on Wednesday at sunset... but it continued on through three days until Saturday at sunset when the Passover celebration ended. This is why you read about the women returning to Jesus' tomb early on the first day of the week (Sunday). This is because the special 3 day Sabbath had ended and they were very eager to get back to the tomb to add more spices to his body.

So now that we see Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, let's go to Luke 23: 44-46 to pinpoint the time he died. "It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour… Jesus called out with a loud voice, Father into your hands I commit my spirit. When he had said this, he breathed his last." When it says the ninth hour, it means the ninth hour since the break of day. In other words, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon when Jesus died. Then after obtaining permission from Pilate, (which could have easily taken 1-2 hours) Jesus was taken down from the cross and hurriedly buried just before sundown, probably sometime around 6:00 p.m.

Remember that Jewish Sabbath days begins at sundown on one day and end at sundown the next. In Leviticus 23:32, God stated, "From the evening… until the following evening you are to observe your Sabbath."

First if you are quoting someone else I'd be interested in knowing who it is because they say there is a special 3 day Sabbath. One cannot work on any Sabbath. That would mean that when the women went to buy the herbs, etc. that they needed and the shop owner would be breaking the Sabbath, correct? :neutral

Without looking it up, this is what I remember.

The 7th day - Saturday - is a Sabbath
Passover Day is a Sabbath
The Feast of Unleavened Bread - Days of Unleavened Bread are 7 days.- not all Sabbath days.

Days of Unleavened Bread has more than one Sabbath during the seven days. As you say Passover Day and the regular Saturday Sabbath.

Same link that is in my first post up top.
 
Jesus was crucified on Thursday. The third hour is indicative that a part of a day is counted as a day when applying it to the three days and three nights because the third hour is not the end of the day.

It had to be before the Sabbath which began at 6:00 P.M. on Friday.

Thursday 9:00 AM Mark 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

Thursday 3:00 PM Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God,

Thursday 6:00 PM Mark 15:42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

Sunday Mark 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene . .

Count backward three nights and a part day from Sunday morning since Jesus died before the end of the day (3:00 PM) and that is Sunday to Saturday morning which is one day and one night, Saturday morning to Friday morning is two days and two nights, and Friday morning to Thursday morning at 9:00 AM is three days and three nights.

Yes, that would be correct, if there were such a thing as a special 3 day Sabbath. The site makes that claim, but they provide no scriptural support for it. If Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday (and I believe he was), then the women would have rested on the following day, which was the first day of Unleavened Bread, and would have bought the spices and other necessities on Friday, rested again on Saturday, and gone to the tomb at the first possible moment on Sunday. That fits perfectly with what the Bible tells us. But if Jesus was crucified on a Friday, they would have had no time to buy the spices, which the Bible tells us they did.

The Feast of First Fruits is the day after the weekly Sabbath during the Days of Unleavened Bread, and it is not a Sabbath. The first and last days of Unleavened Bread are both Sabbaths.

In Mark 15:42 could the "the day before the sabbath" be speaking of the Passover Sabbath rather than the Saturday Sabbath?
