I welcome any scripture that speaks of good Friday.
On this day 1987 years ago: Jesus rose from the grave
Spring Feasts:
Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost
Jesus died on Passover, was buried on Unleavened Bread & rose on Firstfruits.
2017: Thurs 4/6/17 (Nisan 10) the Passover Lamb would be chosen (Ex 12). Mon 4/10/17 is Nisan 14 lamb would be killed (Lev 23:5).
FIRSTFRUITS: RESURRECTION DAY!
It was on Firstfruits that Christ rose from the grave. Resurrection day this year begins at sundown Thurs April 13, 2017 & ends Fri at sundown. Any day is a great day to celebrate Christ Resurrection. Today is this years actual corresponding day.
When the Temple stood this day marked the official commencement of the grain (main/largest) harvest (Deut 16:7)
The firstfruits/sheaf of the barley harvest was brought to the Temple as a wave offering (Leviticus 23:9-14).
The waving of the sheaf/firstfruits, was a dedication before God and sanctified the whole harvest field.
Jesus is the Firstfruits to Resurrect from the grave. Recorded in Matt 27: Christ brings a wave offering before God with Him:
Matthew 27:51-53
51 Jesus dies; and behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. (OLD COVENANT ENDS RIGHT HERE!)
52 ""The tombs also were opened"". ""And many bodies of the saints who had died were raised"",
53 ""and coming out of the tombs"" ""after his resurrection"" ""they went into the holy city and appeared to many""
Paul also ties the Feast of Firstfruits together by linking Christ's Resurrection to it, Here:
1 Corinthians 15:
20 ""But now Christ is risen from the dead"", ""and has become the firstfruits"" ""of those who have died"".
21 For since by one man (Adam) came death, by one Man (Jesus Christ) also came the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall (Believers) be made alive.
23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming
