One of the my close friends asked me this the other day in church, and I stopped dead in my tracks. I had actually never thought about it before.

I had always assumed yes. And based off of some church doctrine, such as the Apostles Creed (not sure on this one either, but that’s what was referred to as in our conversation as containing the source where it’s stated that Jesus went to hell), I’ve just thought that Jesus did go to hell when he died on the cross, and then was victorious over hell on the third day.

But before just spouting off the answer yes, i thought to myself, what verse in the Bible says that Jesus went to hell when he died on the cross.

So, i did a check in my Bible, and there were quite a few scriptures that talked about hell, but none of them stated that Jesus went to hell.

Comments, questions & thoughts are welcome on this one – if you have a verse that refers to this subject, please put it in your comments or email me.

For those of you who don’t know we are having a ‘Night of Praise’ at our church. It’s on Friday, April 25th, at 7pm. Come early, as we’ve had many, many people confirming their attendance. To get you ready, he is a quick video from Hillsong – one of my personal favorite songs – Bitter Sweet Symphony from the Verv Pipe, remixed with Amazing Grace.

We won’t be playing this, but there will be many other great songs that even top this collaboration – although, i’m not claiming we are not better than Hillsong.

Hope to see you there – 7pm at ‘Church of the Harvest’ – map
