The message for the beloved Children of God - Holy Week !

The message for the beloved Children of God - Holy Week !
The Bible doesn't say what the Lord did on Wednesday the Holy Week. This is a sad, disappointing day, Spy Wednesday. Why? Because, our Savior was sold-out by one of his closest friends for virtually nothing. Judas did not consider Jesus’ life to be anything valuable. Why would Judas do something so terrible? We will never completely understand Judas Iscariot decides to betray Jesus. Biblical scholars and commentators claim the traditional Holy Week calendar is inaccurate and Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, not Friday.Those promoting a Wednesday crucifixion date instead of Friday argue that Matthew 12, indicates Jesus was to be dead for "three days and three nights," which would not have been possible if he was crucified on a Friday. It says in Matthew 12:38-40, Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 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. But in Matthew, the Pharisees quote Jesus as saying, "After three days I will rise again." It says, three days, read Matthew 27:62-64, Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.It is reference to the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot. From this moment on, Judas was looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus. Indicating that it is the day that Judas Iscariot first conspired with the Sanhedrin to betray Jesus for thirty silver coins.This event is described in the three Synoptic Gospels: Matthew 26:14-16, Mark 14:10-12, Luke22:3-6. Heavenly Father, we look to you for directions and answers. We seek your face today and for evermore. Father help us to get a better understanding of your word. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
