The Events of the Resurrection
by Pastor Joseph Costa
The events following Jesus death are often misunderstood. . .even by Christians. I have endeavored to clarify this very important 50 day period by putting the events into a chart. This chart chronicles the timeline of events from the Jewish Passover to the Feast of Pentecost.
Jesus Christ fulfills prophecies; becomes the Passover Lamb; shows his authority over Death and Hell; delivers the payment for our sins (His Blood); shows his glorified body to many witnesses; ascends to Heaven; and sends The Comforter to live in the bodies of the Saints as the "...Earnest of our inheritance...".

This is a 50 day span that is broken out into 3 major divisions of time:
- Death to Resurrection: 3 days
- Resurrection to Ascension: 40 days
- Ascension to Pentecost: 7 days.
Scripture passages are indicated along the timeline to help you to have a clear understanding of God's working on our behalf during those days.
- Understand the phases of the transaction that the Redeemer made for your soul.
- Understand why His Blood is so precious. It was the currency used to pay for our salvation.
- Get a better understanding of the basic definition of Pentecost.
- Study how God uses key numbers as signs throughout the Old Testament: 3, 7, 40, 50 and then see those numerical signs validated here in the New Testament. (There is nothing "magical" about numbers, but there is certainly a significance placed on these numbers throughout the Old Testament.)
Use this chart to launch yourself into a very rewarding Bible study!
Keep on reading, praying and studying until we met Jesus! |
