Today we celebrate the fact that Jesus, God's son and the SEED of the Woman, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Joshua, and David, is so good that even the grave cannot hold him.
Jesus went not into a copy of the Holy of Holies but the real one itself and not with the blood of another...but with his own blood...FOR ME.
He was called the Son of Man because of this passage in Daniel:
Da 7:13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence.
Da 7:14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
And then the corresponding verse in Matthew:
Mt 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
and these in John:
Jn 3:35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
Jn 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.”

Jn 15:15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you
And by friends he means like his friend Lazarus...whom died but Jesus in compassion raised him from the dead.
I want to die like Grandpa, quietly and in his sleep; not like the passengers in his car, they were all panicking and screaming.
