Easter – The Third Day

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

One of my favorite Easter pictures; the cross is empty. Thank you Larry Lorimor.

“But on the first day of the week (the third day),
they went to the tomb …
they found the stone rolled away …
they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were perplexed …
“Why do you seek the living among the dead?
He is not here, but has risen.
Remember how he told you while he was still in Galilee,
that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men
and be crucified
and on the third day rise.”
And they remembered his words,”
Luke 24:1-8 (italics and parentheses mine)

The Third Day in my words

The Third Day
captured the tune of my heart.

The Third Day
focused my faith-stretching journey.

The Third Day
challenged, am I standing in truth?

The Third Day
humbled – the rugged cross for me?

The Third Day
opened my desiring heart.

The third day
perplexed – the stone rolled away.

The Third Day
invited to see the empty tomb.

The Third Day
settled – He is risen; he is risen indeed!

Hillsong sings of the third day …

May your third day celebration bless you in many ways! Happy Easter!

“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received:
that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
that he was buried,
that he was raised on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures,”
I Corinthians 15:3 and 4 (italics mine)

Being mesmerized by the third day started toward the beginning of the season of Lent while I was reading Exodus. To start at the beginning of my journey, click here …
