Three Days and Three Nights

We believe that the Father raised Jesus Christ from the dead after His body lay three days and three nights in the grave, thus making immortality possible for mortal man. He thereafter ascended into heaven, where He now sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest and Advocate (1 Peter 1:17-21; 3:22; Matthew 12:40; 1 Corinthians 15:53; 2 Timothy 1:10; John 20:17; Hebrews 8:1; 12:2).

One of the most dramatic, encouraging and gracious events of all time was the resurrection of Jesus Christ. God the Father resurrected His only Son, Jesus the Christ, who had been killed and placed in the tomb just outside Jerusalem. His death, allowed by the Father and willingly submitted to by Jesus (John 10:17-18), paid the penalty for all sins of all human beings who will have ever lived, on the condition that they truly repent of those sins. His death was preordained by the Father and the Word from the foundation of the world as a necessary part of the salvation of mankind (1 Peter 1:20).
