Passion Week Chronology {Crucifixion Day? Was it Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday?}
https://podnews.net/podcast/1500410875/episode-links
In this lesson, we discuss the Lord's final week of His public ministry on earth. It is commonly referred to as His "Passion Week," and it began on Palm Sunday. We briefly talk about the events of each day of that most significant week, but the primary emphasis of this study is on the day of His crucifixion. There are three main views on this debate. They are the (1) Wednesday view, (2) the Thursday view, and (3) the Friday view (of which there are two). We discuss each view and its pros and cons.
The conclusion reached is that the Bible best supports a Thursday crucifixion. Although the most important fact is that Jesus did, indeed, die for the sins of the world, it is still good for believers in Him and His Word to know why they believe what they believe. Should we simply believe something because it has always been "the traditional" way of things, or should we search the Scriptures to find what best supports our view?
