Jesus is God. If that statement is true, why did it take Him 3 days to rise from the dead? He is God and could have risen immediately. Or he could have survived the crucifixion. That would have been amazing and unheard of. It definitely would have gone down in history.
There are a few reasons why Jesus allowed His earthly body to remain dead for three days. One of them is due to the fact that once a person was dead for three days, everyone knew, and accepted that the person was not coming back. They weren't sleeping, in a coma, passed out, et cetera. That person was 3-days-dead. They were dead, dead.
Beyond that "earthly" reason, there were some spiritual reasons Jesus took three days to rise. What are they? Tune in to this week's sermon to find out!
