DOES EASTER REALLY COMMEMORATE the RESURRECTION? - Herbert W Armstrong - July-August 1938

Herbert W Armstrong

Was Jesus three days and three nights in the grave, as He said in Matthew 12:40? Can you figure this between sunset "Good Friday" and sunrise Easter Sunday? Here is an astonishing Bible TRUTH! IT is commonly supposed, today, Jesus was crucified on FRIDAY, and that the resurrection occurred about sunrise on Easter Sunday morning. It would seem that no one, until recently, ever thought to question or to PROVE this "Good-Friday - Easter" tradition. Yet the Bible tells us to PROVE all things. For PROOF there is but one dependable authority - a sole historical record, the Bible. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
