What About 3 Days and 3 Nights? Greg Albrecht
Q: What is your view on Jesus' statement that he would be in the grave three days and three nights? I believe Jesus. I do not believe that it was parts of days and nights like some say.
A: I believe Jesus as well. If you examine the gospels, you will find one verse that mentions "three days and three nights" (Matthew 12:40 ) and another 20 verses that speak of his resurrection as being on "the third day" or "in three days." Since we both believe Jesus, should we seek to better understand one verse in the light of 20, or 20 verses in the light of one?
Today, the day I am writing this, is Friday. Three days from now will be Sunday. That's the normal ...
It’s Good to Be Alive
It's one of two times in the year when brick-and-mortar churches have their highest attendance. It's without a doubt the most meaningful time of the year for Christians, but Easter lilies, bunny rabbits, Easter hams, painted and chocolate eggs can take our attention away from the vital life-giving significance of this spiritual victory we celebrate every spring.
Easter signals new life springing from what is seemingly dead and lifeless. Gray gives way to green. Ice melts and snow is replaced by the promise of buds and sprouts. Light overcomes darkness. The light and life that comes bursting from an empty tomb triumphs over death on the cross, a ...

Death Swallowed Up (You’re Not Disposable!) – Greg Albrecht
One of the great lessons and
legacies of the empty tomb
and the resurrection of Jesus
is that our temporary world does not
have the last word. Easter tells you
and me that we are not disposable.
Easter tells us that even while our
bodies age and shrink and wither
away—there will be a day when our
bodies, like the body of Jesus, will be
resurrected. God will never throw us
away!
During the second half of the 20th century our consumer culture turned
into a throw-away-culture the likes of which the world has never seen.
Plastic bottles are one of the premier examples—use the bottle once and
then throw it away. Paper plates, disposable diapers and ...
Resistance is Fertile: Christ is Risen and Death has Died — Brad Jersak
Christ is risen from
the dead
Trampling down death
by death
And upon those in the
tomb bestowing life
- Paschal Easter Hymn
"Resistance is Futile" - the Borg
Contrary to the boasting of most fictional alien invaders,
resistance is not always futile. In
truth, sometimes resistance is fertile.
Case in point, a new friend was resisting the idea—even the
possibility—that at the point of death, there may still be hope. Is death a
locked door beyond which there is no further opportunity to hear and respond to
the good news? My friend is sure of this. He cited the two classic texts, long known
as deal-killers for any hope of a ‘second...
