Matthew 12:40 and 3 Days in the Tomb?

Steve Durkac Posted on April 18, 2022 by Steve DurkacApril 18, 2022

Matthew 12:40 is a reference by Jesus to His forthcoming stay in the tomb and this is what it says, “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Every Easter season this question comes up and based on this verse someone will argue that the crucifixion took place on Wednesday or someone … Continue reading →

John 20:12 and The Easter Story

Steve Durkac Posted on April 1, 2021 by Steve DurkacApril 1, 2021

This is Easter week and soon we will be together to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord together through fellowship and communion. Every year during this season I tend to think of a very minute portion of the Easter story that is usually insignificant to most retelling’s of the resurrection day. However, it speaks volumes to the glorious fact that it was because of Jesus’ resurrection that you and I have the forgiveness of our … Continue reading →

Wednesday Crucifixion?

Steve Durkac Posted on April 22, 2019 by Steve DurkacApril 22, 2019

This past Sunday as we were discussing the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, we had a brief exchange on the possibility of a Wednesday crucifixion rather than a Friday crucifixion. I had mentioned that by the common literacy usage of the day, Jewish conversations would use an inclusive reckoning of time. Meaning that any part of a day could be counted as a whole day. This isn’t much different than what we do today, we … Continue reading →

Why We Will Easter Simply

Steve Durkac Posted on March 31, 2018 by Steve DurkacMarch 31, 2018

At CrossHope Chapel we are all about doing things simply. We are different that way, but only because we want to be a church community that stays closely to the principles, practices, and patterns of the New Testament, as much as possible and as much as applicable to our modern times. Easter is a traditional church celebration of our resurrected Savior. I like that it turns our thoughts toward one of the greatest verses in … Continue reading →

Let Him Be Crucified

Steve Durkac Posted on March 25, 2016 by Steve DurkacMarch 25, 2016

Good Friday has always been the most meaningful to me, of the Holy week days from the triumphal entry to Easter. Mostly because growing up in my Catholic home, my mother insisted on a practice of silence in our house between 12:00 noon and 3:00 PM on Good Friday. Yes, silence. In our home on Good Friday for those 3 hours we were committed to not speaking unless it was an emergency (including no radio and … Continue reading →
