Day 105 - 1 Samuel 17-18 & Luke 15:1-10
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison. (1 Peter 3:18-19 ESV)
What did Jesus do on the first Holy Saturday? While we do not have a minute by minute account, we do have the words of Peter. He tells us that Jesus descended into hell.
Why did Jesus descend into hell? Some say that He had endure more suffering. However, when Jesus declared “It is finished,” he was proclaiming that His suffering was over, and that our sin is paid for.
Peter lets us in on this question. Jesus was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison. In other words, Jesus descended into hell to proclaim His victory over Satan and death.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your death on Calvary on my behalf. Thank You for defeating sin, death and the devil for me. Amen.
“See” you in church tomorrow on Resurrection Sunday!
