“When Israel was a child, I loved him,
    and out of Egypt I called my son. "


Hosea 11:1

8000 years before Christ

" Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. "

Isaiah 53:12

'   Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”   '

John 2:19

It is impossible to build a temple in 3 days.
Jesus was not referring to a building.
He meant another temple.


'   Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
You are not your own;   '

1 Corinthians 6:19

dear Sprint,
how can it be good Friday when they crucified God?

My thoughts on this are only mine.
I have no references to refer to.


'Easter' was the original celebration of a survival through winter.
It is scheduled for the first full moon after the equinox. In the Northern hemisphere.

So if you survived winter, that was a good thing.

Hence it was good.


How did that relate to Jesus?
Well, it didn't.
The Romans run a good society. They probably already had all sorts of celebrations at Easter anyway.
From the Romans point of view, Jesus and these troublesome Christians seem to be a growing phenomenon, they want a time for their celebration. Let them march with ALL the other groups during Easter.

Causes no interruption, settles these new Christian down , everyones happy.


If that is how it happened, it was a good idea from the Romans.

That quote shows Jesus dying on the cross between 2 criminals.

' .......... was numbered with the transgressors. ..........'

He was among the transgressors, the sinners
One sinner mocked Jesus, the other confessed, knowing his sins and asked for 'consideration'

' ............... We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” ............ '



We are all sinners.
We can mock Jesus or confess our sins.
I have many sins. Jesus has taken the punishment for my sins from me.


That is a Good Friday
So many tears.

Thank you Bobby.

They divide my clothes among them
    and cast lots for my garment.

Psalm 22:18


Written about 1000 years before Jesus

They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst.

Psalm 69:21



A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips.

John 19:29

Give ear and come to me;
listen, that you may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.

Isaiah 55:3



because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
nor will you let your faithful one see decay.

Psalm 16:10

Full points for providing a reference 

As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him.
He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”

They stood still, their faces downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”

“What things?” he asked.

“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”

He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”




Luke 24:15 - 32

he will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears
    from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace
    from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.


Isaiah 25:8

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.


Matthew 5:17,18
