Jesus' Descent into Hell

The idea of Christ preaching the good news in the realm of the dead gave me goosebumps.

Jesus was with the apostles for forty days after arising from the dead he continued to teach them and complete their understanding of what had occurred

Dr. Pitre, you are an excellent catechist, and we are lucky to have you!

Dr.Pitre is preaching while he's teaching.long live Dr.Pitre.i will pray for you.

Dr. Pitre is like crazy fascinated with faith and enthusiastic about everything about it, and he's a great teacher! God bless Dr. Pitre and Catholic Productions.

Amen, praised be Jesus Christ.

In the last option, it suddenly hit me that Jesus had a soul like ours. We repeat it in the Creed, but I had trouble separating soul and divinity. Now it makes sense that He preached to the dead and needed both soul and divinity for that!

Even though Im not romam catholic, when I first read that passage it seemed to me that the interpretatiom was more close tonthe fourth option that Dr Pitre mention here. Thanks for this video, It brings me great comfort to know that Christ even saved those who had already left this world. God bless to everyone

Thank you so much.. so amazing! 😇🙏❤️

Yes he went to preach to the souls under the old covenant, this confirms Ephesians 4:9,10

Bless you Dr Pitre!!

God bless you Dr. Pitre

I appreciate this teaching for its balance and presentation of both the strengths and weaknesses of each opinion on what the scripture is saying. Holy Spirit guide us into all of God's truth !

Thanks for this illuminating explanation Dr Pitre.

I find it interesting that Christ’s decent coincides with the Sabbath. In fact, making it the final “old” Sabbath for the dead (what the dead would expect according to their Jewish faith and expectations) and beginning the new one on His resurrection Easter Sunday.

Outstanding!

Amen beautiful explanation

This great threshing of the mystery of this revelation makes me realize how difficult it is to understand the nature of God. I don’t know if it’s a worthy thing to understand or ponder but when Christ talks to the apostles about the necessity of his going to heaven in order that he might send the Holy Spirit strikes me in a similar way. Is it possible to comprehend why Our Lord must Ascend into heaven first before he sends the Holy Spirit upon the Church? Are these mysteries important to wrap our heads around? Do they just emphasize the Lord’s lesson to us that “ his ways are not our ways” I don’t know if any of what I said is important or minutia, all that these scriptures point to, for me, is the awesomeness of Our God. And I do love to think on them even if they aren’t possible to clarify.

When I was young I heard a nun say when Jesus descended to the dead he was going to teach catechism. Even if this interpretation is wrong, I find it cute and holy!

Thank you Dr. Pitre You always help me to understand better the Holy Scriptures 🙏
