For those unfamiliar with this annual tradition, here is a crucial principle we follow in our annual Question and Answer series: If the Bible doesn't say, that is our final answer. We seek wise applications of Scripture, but we don't speculate about things beyond what God has revealed to us. The sufficiency of Scripture is a crucial doctrine.
2 Peter 1:3: . . . seeing that His divine power has granted to us EVERYTHING pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.2 Timothy 3:16–17: All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for EVERY good work.
This week's questions:
1 - Three days and three nights and Good Friday. Matthew 12:40: . . . for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. If Jesus died on the cross on Friday afternoon and rose on Sunday morning, how are the three nights reconciled? 2 - Could you explain what Jesus experienced during His fiery trial on the cross? Did He experience the eternal hell that every sinner saved, deserved? Did He experience eternal hell as well as separation [from] God? 3 - Matthew 27:46: "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" Did God let Him down? Did Jesus let Himself down?
