Lesson 1992: Because He Lives

Jesus had an unexpected reaction to the crowd singing “Hosanna!” on Palm Sunday - He cried.

His beloved prophet Daniel had announced this exact date, 600 years in advance.

Yet no one in the crowd knew Scripture well enough to recognize he would be coming that day.

They should have expected Him on that day; the calendar proved that Jesus was the Messiah.
 
Nearly 6 centuries before Palm Sunday, Daniel 9:25 foretold Christ’s coming to the very day.

69 x 7 = 483 years of 360 days = 173,880 days from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah comes.

The date of the decree was Nisan 1, March 5, 444 BC. Neh.2:1 The time from March 5, 444 BC-March 30, 33 AD was 173,880 days exactly as Daniel foretold.
 
It is wonderful news that Christ rose from the dead, but it is not so surprising to believers.

After all, Christ was able to raise others from the dead, to heal & walk on water. He is God’s Son.

The real Easter miracle is that, because He lives, sinners will experience the same resurrection.
