The GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST:
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
King James Version
3 For I delivered unto you first
of all that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
The Holy Spirit is always precise.
He led me to more understanding about the Lord's resurrection today.
Here's what He taught me, at 3:33 this morning.
He led me to the number 3.
So I reviewed my book on Vallowe's Scripture Numerics, and found the number 3 referred to the "RESURRECTION, DIVINE COMPLETENESS and PERFECTION".
The resurrection of Christ was also compared to -- yes, THREE -- instances:
1. On the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Matthew 12: 39-40
King James Version
39 But he answered and said unto them,
An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign;
and there shall no sign be given to it,
but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights
in the whale's belly;
so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights
in the heart of the earth.
2. On the restoration of Israel:
Hosea 6:1-2
King James Version
6 Come,
and let us return unto the Lord:
for he hath torn,
and he will heal us;
he hath smitten,
and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us:
in the third day he will raise us up,
and we shall live in his sight.
3. On the temple of His body:
John 2:20-21
King James Version
20 Then said the Jews,
Forty and six years was this temple in building,
and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
All referred to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus on the THIRD day.
Of course, there are many more implications of the number 3.
But that will be for future posts.
When you're a student of Spirit, you will marvel at the richness of the Bible.
With the richness of the world, paling greatly in comparison.
Only by being born again -- what Jesus calls "born of water and of the Spirit" -- can we understand things of the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 2:14
King James Version
14 But the natural man receiveth not
the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
The world will have many versions of what they think Scripture is.
And their interpretation of it.
But like I always say, I approach God like a little child.
Knowing nothing, wanting to know EVERYTHING of Him.
Only the Holy Spirit can direct us accurately.
For He is the teacher of all things.
Jesus did say:
John 14:26
King James Version
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
If you really wish to know Jesus, you must be born again.
It was His command.
