jesus said he would be in the ground for 3 days, how is friday to sunday 3days?
if it was friday evening, when did they buy spices?. You will need to know what Day of the preparation means. The day of Preparation always precides a sabbath, and it doesnt mean weekly sabbath only. The passover just passed and the festivial of unleaven was about to begin. Matt. 27:62-66 will show it couldnt be on friday. It will show if you look, that two sabbath had occurred in the same week. It doesnt have to be weekly sabbath, but annual sabbath do occur. Jesus said that the only sign given will be the sign of Jonah. So to prove his messiahship and be in the ground for 3 days. If you look at the Jewish calander for that time, we will find that Jesus gave up the spirit on Wed. the next day a sabbath (thursday),women bought spices, scibes talked to pilate(friday) next day sabbath (saturday) rose between saturday night to sunday morning. When the ladies got to the tomb Jesus had already risen.

the death of Christ on the cross.

I can say that the death of Christ on the cross,was the way God just want to show us his love to.what I new is that what brought Jesus to the cross was the love of God.That's why he said that the gratest thing a man can do is to give his life for the sake of his friend.Jn.13,

 thanks yrs. Eng.Oriaku

Jesus death

I do not think that Jesus was after his death, because after all he reborn.  I think he Knew that he was going to die. God send him to die for all of us. to make us free. I think, God was trying to let us know that He cares about us-that much that he send he own and only son to die in the cross to save us....

Have you ever wonder of all the people around you, how called themselves friends and all that kind of stuff, do you really think that they would all give their lives for you. do they really care that much about you that they would actually die for you like jesus did for us????  it makes you think, doesn't it?

Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)
There is no way Jesus could have incited his death, he came to save us from our sins.His way of teaching were viewed by many in that direction. Jesus came to the world to save the world , but for him to do all these he had to preach the gospel truth, which is hard for some people to bear.

Jesus incited truth, love and forgiveness but because this is so vastly controversial it caused Him to be hated by the religious leaders.

Yes, I think so. I think Jesus was both priest and sacrifice. The ultimate sacrifice. The highest high priest. His life was not taken from him. He offered it up.

I think He did incite his on death. He knew the time of his death and the punishment he had to endure for us. I am so humbly blessed to be loved by such a great man. Never will anyone love as much as he has, especially when so many turn their backs to him today. He was willing to give his life so we could one day walk with him in heaven. Praise Him

First, I believe Jesus` plan was already in motion when he was born. He could have been murdered as a Baby by Herod. However, for our faith, it is more important that Jesus was crucified in a public way. The Sanhedrin could have murdered Jesus in secret, instead of publically. If fact they should have just hired an assasin to kill him. I believe they, the Sanhedrin, were determined to follow God`s plan to sacrifice his son for our benefit and not do the killing in secret or by proxy. Now if they had killed Jesus in secret, would Jesus still decend into Hell for three days and rise again to complete the redemption of our sins? And why didn`t they round up Jesus` followers immediatelly and kill them also? I think they were part of God`s plan and I`m thankful and humbled for it.
