Lets start with Wednesday:
Jesus eats the last supper - a celebration of the Passover. Note that he and his disciples celebrated the Passover earlier than other Jews. From 10pm he starts intense prayers, comes back at midnight to find the disciples sleeping.
Significance: As Christians Wednesday nights till 3am should be devoted to prayer
Thursday 3am - 6am: Jesus is arrested and taken to Plate, and Hero and back to Plate, where a death sentence is confirmed.
Thursday 6am -9am: Jesus is marched to his crucifixion by 9am
Thursday 9am - 12noon: On the cross with two thieves, one on left, the other on right.
Significance: The two thieves represent the sins of man from Adam to the time of Jesus, and the one on the right represents the sins of man from the era of Christ to now.
Thursday 12noon - 3pm: Earthquake hits the area, with eclipse and the veil of the temple was torn.
Significance: The heavens 'revolted' at the spectacle unfolding on earth, but since this was the plan of The Father, such revulsion was symbolic. The torn veil, represents the doing away of The old sacrifice for a more permanent and transparent one.
Thursday 3pm - 6pm: JESUS is still on the cross, and taste the vinegar, but could not take it in. Shortly after he says it is finished, and gave up his spirit. The soldiers who were detailed to ensure that none of The crucified ones were alive till the feast day, found Jesus dead and did not break his bones, but rather pierced his side and got out blood and water. Joseph of Arimathea was on hand to bury him.
Significance:His tasting of that vinegar equates him partaking in the sins of man, making him guilty on our behalf for the punishment of death. Blood and water signifies the things that washed sway our sins. Joseph stepping forward shows that God had planned these events meticulously- to the last detail. Note that at that time all his disciples were on the run.
Note also that his garment balloted for by the soldiers signifying that one man shall rule at any point in time, but under a democratic order.
Best way to remember his suffering is to fast from 6am on Thursday to 6pm on Thursday.
Friday: feast of Passover.
Saturday: Sabaath day
Sunday : 6am : Jesus rises from the grave completing the 3 days and 3 nights. If he died on Friday as many want to believe then it is not up to the 3days and 3nights he spoke about, making him a liar. But Christ is truth, praise God!
