What The Bible Says
Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice
Christ, our Passover Lamb, arose from the dead on the Sunday after the Jewish Passover. The crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ was on Passover, which that year fell on a Thursday. Catholics are deceived about a Good Friday crucifixion because they suppose that all Sabbath Days are on Saturday. Also, Zealots trying to force-fit 72 hours into a sepulcher refuse to count accurately "six days before the Passover" and Cleopas' "today is the third day since these things were done" (Jn.12,Lu.24). They close their Bibles and build fancy deceitful charts and calendars, but the Passover on which Jesus died was on the 14th of Abib (Ex.13:4,23:15,39:18,Deut.16:1) (Called Nisan by modernists). God's days of the week start with the "evening and the morning" (Gen.1:5,8,13,19,23,31), so at sunset on the 13th the Passover began, and on sunset of the 14th “a high Sabbath day” began (Jn.19:31,Lev.23:4-8), marking the first day of the feast of unleavened bread (Ex.12:17, 23:15, 34:18, Le.23:6).
Six days before Passover is the 8th of Abib and it was a Friday (Jn.12). On the 10th of Abib the lamb was chosen (Exod.12:3). Our Passover Lamb was chosen in a triumphal entry on Palm Sunday, the 10th of Abib, and the next Sunday, the 17th, was Resurrection Sunday. It was three days since the crucifixion was done (Lk.24:20-21). Do the math, keep your Bible open, don't let the deceivers with fancy charts and alternate agendas deceive. Hallow a Wednesday night Lord's Supper and worship knowledgably on both Sundays. Incidentally, Roman sun worshipers once had a holy day for solar vernal equinox but the Roman pagan holy-day, Easter, was “born-again” when they mandated it to be the Sunday after the Jewish Passover, deemed Resurrection Day. So please don't cut off your neighbor's head if he calls Christ's Resurrection Day "Easter."
