“Which Way Did He Go?”

Friday, August 07, 2015

I have made it my goal to read and study the Bible which has brought up many questions. One of my questions deals with Jesus Christ and His resurrection. Where in the Bible does it address what happened to Him during the three days before He was raised from the dead? Where can I learn more about this, or is this one of God's many great mysteries?

Sincerely, Missing Moments

Dear Missing Moments,

Jesus went to Paradise during those three days in the grave. We know this because Jesus told the thief on the cross that He would be there (Lk 23:43). Paradise is where all the godly go after they die. It is sometimes referred to as ‘Abraham’s bosom’ (Lk 16:22) because Abraham is the father of all the faithful (Rom 4:11). When He died, Jesus went where all the faithful go – He went to be with God.
