Actually it was Saturday...This site covers it pretty well but others go well into all the detail with scripture of course so a person can see when the Crucifixion actually took place...
I struggle with understanding the Trinity - but then that shouldn’t be suprising who can truly understand the magneficeince of God.
God gave us the scriptures so that we could understand...I like to think I understand the Trinity...Others of course disagree with me as well as each other but many do agree with me...
God says we are made in his image...In what sense would that be??? We look like God??? Nope...God is invisible...He is a spirit...How about Jesus??? We made in Jesus' image??? Nope...John says we don't know what the risen Jesus looks like...In the scriptures Jesus appears as a ram, a lamb, an angel, a man...
And then God says, 'let us make man in our image'...Fascinating stuff...
The one thing we have in common with God is that there are 3 of us...We are created with a body, a soul and the life giving spirit...All wrapped up into one package...And that package is the 'image of God'...God is 3...Just like you are 3...But God is one...If you look in a mirror, you see 1...But yet you are 3...
Some liken us to a bicycle tire...We have the tire itself (our body)...Then there's the inner tube (the soul) and it is filled with air (the spirit) to make one tire...
The word used for body is soma, which means body...The word used for soul is psuche which we get our word psyche from...Our reasoning center...And spirit is the word pneuma...We get our word pneumatic from that...AIR...Spirit is air...
God puts the air into us...Into our lungs...If you believe that, and I believe that, (That air is the pneuma, the spirit) then if you have ever seen a baby being born you have witnessed the supernatural miracle that only God can provide by putting the spirit into that little body...if you have ever seen a baby being born in person or on tv, you have witnessed the supernatural miracle from God...
Anyway, Our trinity gets separated at death; the spirit leaves the body and the body falls down to the ground and the soul leaves and goes up, or down...
This is a picture of God...He is one but he is 3...But because he is a spiritual being the 3 parts of the Trinity have the ability to separate...
If your soul was able to leave your body right now without your body falling down dead, your soul would also have an identity...Your body would be you, your soul would be you and your spirit would be you...And that's a picture of God (Jesus and the Holy Spirit)...
“Actually it was Saturday”
Lol, Luke 24 says the first day of the week ( our Sunday ) was the THIRD DAY since Jesus died.
Jesus rose on the third day.....Sunday.
