Where Did He Go?
1 Peter 3:13-22
Sunday, March 26, 2023
Dr. Kelly B. Burton
I am often asked, “Where did Jesus go when He died?” The Apostles Creed states that when He died Jesus descended to Hell. Peter indicates further that Jesus preached to the spirits there. Who were these spirits? We need to look at this difficult text from the angle of context and then let the Bible interpret the Bible.
▪ Jesus Brought Us to God 3:18
Obviously, God does not just wink at sin.
The righteous for the unrighteous.
▪ Jesus Preached to the Spirits 3:19
2 Peter 2:4, Jude 6-7, Colossians 2:13ff
What did He proclaim?
▪ Jesus Conquered and Went to Heaven 3:22
These verses stress the authority Jesus has over evil.
Christians need not fear the fury of Satan!
