Was Jesus Christ resurrected on a Sunday

When was Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead? The majority of believers in Jesus Christ believe that He was resurrected on a Sunday and so Easter Sunday has become one of the holiest days in the Christian community. But I beg to ask the question was Jesus Christ resurrected on Easter Sunday?

I know that this will be for many a very hard and bitter pill to swallow, but our God has given us the responsibility to prove all things and to hold fast to what is good because the whole world is under a heavy cloud of deception and the majority of those who profess to be teachers of the Gospel are themselves deceived and are unfortunately deceiving the many.

So let us therefore inspect the word of God and prove for ourselves whether Jesus Christ was resurrected on Easter Sunday as it is commonly believed and taught .According to the scriptures we have been instructed saying; “Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come; see the place where the Lord lay” (Matthew 28:1-6).

In the gospel of John we read that, “Now the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb” (John 20:1).

What is clearly stated is that the time the women went to anoint Jesus on the first day of the week (Sunday) whether while it was still dark or, as the first day of the week began to dawn, the crux of the matter is, Jesus was no longer in the tomb He was already risen from the dead as He said He would. And what He said was, “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”

And so the logical question is, did Jesus Christ truly spent three days and three nights in the heart of the earth as He said He would?  The logical answer to this question is, He certainly did because this was the sign He gave to prove that He is indeed the Messiah. Anything short or beyond this period of time would consider Him as an impostor, Therefore, the exact time Jesus Christ was placed in the tomb, at the expiration of three days and three nights He was resurrected from the dead.
