Amazing Devotional

Have you ever though about how detailed and exactly timed the arrest, trial, crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus was? God gave an elaborate and explicit picture of the timing when he established the feasts in the Old Covenant. Jesus had to be on the cross and have died by sundown on Passover because He is the Pascal Lamb. It had to occur exactly by twilight on the 14th day of the month of Nisan. He had to be in the tomb before 6 pm because He is the whole burnt offering sacrifice for the nation. He has to be there three days and three nights because this was prophesied by Jonah. He had to be resurrected on the third day, the day following the Sabbath, the Feast of Firstfruits because He is the Firstfruits of the Spirit. He had to be resurrected after sunset and before sunrise. Every detail was laid out in the beginning of time and He did not deviate from it at all.
