What is the name of the disciple whom Jesus loved?

Saint John, Apostle
On December 27, we celebrate the Feast of Saint John, Apostle and Evangelist – the “disciple Jesus loved” (John 13:23). As the author of a Gospel account, three epistles, and the book of Revelation, John was not only a close friend of Jesus during his time, but a spiritual teacher for the ages.

Who did Jesus raise from the dead first?

Actually, Jesus only raised two people from the dead, Lazarus and the widow of Nain’s son. Many people think he raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead, but that idea is contradicted by Jesus’ very words in all three of the synoptic gospels.

Why Did Jesus rise from the dead on the 3rd day?

Jesus was adamant about the third day because it represents God’s initiative in creating new life and establishing covenant with humanity. Look at how the Easter event — the resurrection of Jesus — maps onto our third day design pattern: God resurrects new life up from the ground (tomb), in this case Jesus.

Who saw Jesus before he died?

According to the Biblical account, the Holy Spirit visited Simeon and revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Christ of God.

What did Jesus do when he died?

When Jesus died, he did something very significant. He died to take your place. He stood where you deserve to stand. He hung where you deserve to hang. He died the death that you deserve to die. He fully, personally, and directly received on himself the punishment that you rightly deserve to receive for your own sins.

Could the death of Jesus have been avoided?

He did not die because his claims to be the Messiah somehow “got to his head” and caused him to “go too far” and to “take on more than he could handle.” Instead, Jesus taught beforehand that he would die ( Matt 16:21; 17:22 ). His death was no surprise.

What does the Bible say about Jesus being raised from the dead?

The Bible says He was raised not just after the blood-shedding, but by it. The wrath of God was satisfied with the suffering and death of Jesus. The holy curse against sin was fully absorbed. The price of forgiveness was totally paid. The righteousness of God was completely vindicated.
