In the gospel of John, it reads that when the Jewish leaders wanted to expedite the deaths of Jesus and the thieves in their crucifixions, they requested of Pilate to break their legs. Both the two thieves legs were broken. However, when the Roman soldier came to break Jesus’ legs, He was already dead. So, His bones were not broken. What is the significance of this?
Matthew 13:54-56 recorded when Jesus briefly returned home to Nazareth. While He was there, He entered the synagogue and taught the people. Those who listening were astounded at His understanding and teaching of the Scriptures and powers to do miracles. They knew of His family and upbringing. But they did not know from whom He got His knowledge and understanding of Scripture. So, where did Jesus get His knowledge of Scripture from? Who taught Jesus?
What happens when we die? Do we just cease to exist? Do we all go to heaven? Do some go to heaven and stay forever and others go to hell forever? What really happens after we die?
When Jesus died, His spirit went to “hell” and proclaimed a message. To whom did Jesus make proclamations and what was the message? And what does it mean that He went to Hell?
