Jesus’ Life on Earth

[AvilaSurfer]

Jesus spent a matter of hours being tortured, 3ish hours hanging on the cross dying, three years preaching, and, 30 some odd years obeying. That was the gist of yesterday’s homily. Never thought about it that way before.

 

[Glaucus]

Inset rose after 3 days after 3 hours on the cross.

3 hours, 3 days, 3 years, 33 years

And He has spent the last 2000 years interceding on behalf of millions of Christians. Romans 8:34

He was denied 3 times before the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] crowed 3 times. Maybe the numbers mean something and might not be all literal.

I remember as a protestant, this was brought up. It is interesting to think of how numbers do seem to have a significance in Scripture. 40 runs throughout.

What does setting an example have to do with pointing out repeating numbers? Sounds like a numerology yes, message.
