Why Did Jesus Go to Hell? Billy Graham
Christian News
Q: Is this a contradiction? What actually happened to Jesus when He died?

Honestly I have no bible scripture to back what I am saying, though I have read the bible twice. To my understanding of it Jesus went to Hell for 3 days and then returned.
I would say Jesus went to hell to prove that good is tougher than evil. Jesus is the most concentrated form of God, so to speak, on earth. Imagine the picture of Jesus in hell. Do you picture a man rebuking devils?
If this story were true I would love to have seen it. Jesus would have been a radiant light in the darkness of hell. No devil or whatever would have had any power against him.
This offers up many questions. Why did Jesus not stay in hell and bring the light of God to those in hell as on earth. Maybe he had a time limit there.
To me personaly this is just another layer of a made up story by the church.
