Witnesses believe Jesus ascended to heaven after his death on earth.
That was Jehovah's Witnesses MEMORIAL, where we commemorate Jesus' death for us.
They were witnesses of his resurrection and they preached the Gospel according to his commandment.
No, Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Easter as they believe it has pagan origins and is not supported by the Bible. Instead, they focus on commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ through a different observance called the Memorial.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not have doubts that Jesus was born. In fact, they are just as thankful he was born as the next person. They dont celebrate his birth, because his death holds more signifigance. Luke chapter 22 verses 19 through 20 gives clear meaning that Jesus was saying to celebrate his death, not his birth. His blood really saved man, not his birth. This question was no doubt asked on the bases that Jehovah's Witnesses do no celebrate Christmas. Contact local witnesses for more information about why they dont celebrate christmas or Jesus' birth.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Easter because they believe it has pagan origins and is not mentioned in the Bible. They focus on commemorating the death of Jesus Christ through the observance of the Memorial of Christ's Death. This differs from mainstream Christian practices, where Easter is a significant holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus.
He needs to be with God and have witnesses his death
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus instigated this celebration as a yearly memorial of his death to replace the Jewish Passover celebration, which was a once a year event.
The focus of the gospel is Jesus Christ. He is the central figure in Christianity and is seen as the embodiment of the good news of salvation for humanity through his life, death, and resurrection.
The simple answer to that question is Yes! Jehovah's Witnesses do believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins. (John 3:16) What is more, they also believe that the only way to salvation is through believing and exercising faith in the ransom sacrifice that he gave. (James 2:21-26) And that an individual must remain faithful until death. (Mat. 24:13)
Of course.(and his death also.)(and his resurrection also)(and his enthronement as King of God's Kingdom in 1914 also)
Jesus suffered and died on the cross.
