This Christian Life

Good Friday 2003

I feel terrible today. I’m in a bad mood because of things happening in my life. Honestly, I’m having a hard time remembering Christ on this very important day, good Friday.

However, I know Jesus was real and that he lived and died. The following is a good description of the type of tomb, burial practices, the timing of his death, prophecies, and more (including a download).

There is an abundant amount of evidence both in Scripture and in the religious practices of the Jews that God carefully planned the timing of Jesus? death and resurrection.

The tomb in which Jesus was buried had never been used before. According to Jewish law held by the Pharisees, only people in an immediate family could be buried in the same tomb, so it?s likely that no one in the family of Arimathea would ever use it again. Thus Joseph made a big sacrifice when he allowed Jesus to be buried in his brand-new tomb.
