Actually, Jesus died on a Wednesday.

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying,"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split. ( Matthew 27:45 & 51 *NKJV ) Dear Addison, The Holy Veil being torn from top to bottom signified God's opening up the Temple [Church] to all people, Gentile as well as Jew. Thus making us all part of the Body of Christ! You see, the temple veil separated the most holy place called the "Holy of Hollies," where God was to reside, from the people. Only the high priest was allowed to pass behind the veil, and then only on the "Day of Atonement." ( see LEV 16:20 ) Thus, the people of the Old Testament could only approach God through a priest and a blood sacrifice to be forgiven of their sins. A young male lamb was the customary sacrifice offered for this in the Temple at Jerusalem. Also of Note; Jesus died exactly at 3 PM, which was the exact time of the evening sacrifice at the Temple. Therefore Christ became our sacrifice, for that is why John the Baptist said; Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, when he saw Jesus coming. Also the Apostle Paul wrote; For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast. Amen ( John 1:29 ) ( 1 CORINTHIANS 5:7 ) Have a wonderful weekend Addison, and why not attend the Church of your choice as we celebrate Christ's Resurrection this Sunday! Also Addison, if you have children, please teach them what Easter is really all about, so they do not grow up thinking it is only about bunny rabbits and colored eggs and candy.
