Biblical accounts The biblical narrative in Chapter 1 of the Acts of the Apostles takes place 40 days after the Resurrection . Acts 1 describes a meal at which Jesus commands the disciples to await the coming of the Holy Spirit.
To increase faith They had to work through the despair of losing Him, and the questions of what would have happened if they had not followed Him, or if they had defended Him better, or if they had simply been duped. By waiting three days , Jesus allowed them time to work through some of these issues and questions.
After being baptized by John the Baptist, Jesus was tempted by the devil for 40 days and nights in the Judaean Desert. Jesus having refused each temptation, Satan then departed and Jesus returned to Galilee to begin his ministry. During this entire time of spiritual battle, Jesus was fasting.
There may be a very practical reason for the Resurrection to have happened in three days after Jesus’ death, scholars say. First-century tradition held that only after three days could you be sure someone was dead; after four days the spirit was presumed to leave the body.
Jesus does not have a last name . Last names were not common in those times. Christ is not a name , but a title. Christ means “anointed” or “Messiah”, so Jesus became the “Christ” or “Messiah” when he got baptized at the age of 30.
Christians believe that after Jesus rose from the dead, he did not die a second time . Instead, 40 days after his resurrection , Jesus left the Earth by being taken up, body and soul, to Heaven to re-join God the Father. This event is called the ascension , and it was witnessed by Jesus ‘ eleven remaining apostles .
Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again’ (Luke 24:5–7) . The female followers then returned to tell Jesus ‘ apostles and other people that Jesus had risen from the dead.
the third day – dry land, seas, plants and trees were created. the fourth day – the Sun, Moon and stars were created. the fifth day – creatures that live in the sea and creatures that fly were created. the sixth day – animals that live on the land and finally humans, made in the image of God were created.
The Resurrection of Jesus is the Christian belief that Jesus Christ came back to life on the third day after his crucifixion by the Romans in approximately AD 30–33. In Christian theology, the death and resurrection of Jesus are the most important events, a foundation of the Christian faith, and commemorated by Easter .
The Bible says, “He was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight” (Acts 1:9). All of these events — His sacrificial death, His resurrection from the dead, His ascension into heaven — were possible only because of who Jesus was: God’s only Son, sent from heaven to save us from our sins.
Jesus had to be careful to remain near the rare water sources as He journeyed those 40 days . Having no food was hard, but without water Jesus would never survive . (The scriptures make it clear that He didn’t eat for those 40 days , but says nothing about doing without water.)
Lent in the New Testament Mark tells us that Jesus was tempted by Satan, but it is in Matthew and Luke that the details of the temptation are fleshed out. All three accounts say that Jesus went without food for the 40 days. Christians, like adherents to many other religions, have long fasted.
They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”
The Bible tells us that Jesus died and rose again not only so that we could receive forgiveness, but even more so, He died and rose again so that we might have life. It is through His death and resurrection that we receive life.
The date of birth of Jesus is not stated in the gospels or in any historical reference, but most theologians assume a year of birth between 6 and 4 BC.
