Three Days

In three days...what will happen in three days?

In three days, it will be Friday.

In three days, the work and school weeks will be over.

In three days, Oklahoma will open.

Our Lord rose on the third day.

What makes the third day so special? Well, first of all, and probably the most obvious, is that Friday to Sunday is three days, so in American culture, we value those days as our days of freedom--not having to work for anyone else, not having to get up at any set time, not having to do anything on anyones schedule but our own.

To Christians, the third day is special because it was over three days that Christ was crucified and rose again. It is significant to note that our redemption does not come just by Christ's death, but by his resurrection. He could not have conquered hell and grave unless he rose from the dead, becoming our salvation not only by taking on our sins, but conquering the eternal consequences.

To debaters, the third day is very important. Why? Because that's the day we get to find out who goes to nationals. ;)

But this week, the third day is also special. Prince Caspian comes out on the third day.
