The third day is God's day. The third day is the day when prisoners of Pharaoh get set free. The third day is the day when the people come to the mountains and mountains shake and rivers are parted and people go into the Promised Land. The third day is the day when harem girls like Esther face down powerful kings. The third day is the day when prophets like Jonah are dropped off at seaside ports by giant fish. The third day is the day when idols like Dagon come tumbling down and God starts coming home to his people. The third day is the day stones are rolled away.
The third day is the day a crucified carpenter came back to life.
You never know what God is going to do, because God is "God of the third day."
From that third day on, the world has never been the same. Jesus' followers, who used to observe the Sabbath, began instead to observe on Sunday--on the third day--what they began to call, in the New Testament, the "Lord's Day." The third day is the Lord's Day, because, they said, "we're third-day people now. We're betting the farm on this one."
You never know what might happen on the third day. I cling to that. I put all my hope in a third-day God.
But I live in a second-day world.

How great is our God. Thanks for the lift, Clif.
The Tuesday night Bible Study I attend is called "Third Day Sisters" because of our study of the 3rd day.
In Genesis the account of God creating everything it was not until the 3rd day when He created the Earth that He said, it was good
(vs 10) and when the earth brought forth grass, & seed, & fruit, it was good (vs 12).
Awesome! God bless and have a great week!
I like this mans words! I love your picture that you shared today also.Nancy and Vivian are here this weekend. I told them that I would be going back and forth from the computer room to the living room most the night. I missed to much last week I don't want to miss again.

What an inspiration. I am always amazed at the insight people have, and then they share it. What a blessing. Thank you.
I never heard of this before, but I guess it's the same as Never Quit God, and that's who I worship.
you're posts are always rich in faith for me. Have a great Sunday. Sarah
Good morning Cliff, a beautiful sentiment about Jesus and the third day. I should read that book. A different way to think. I should say a 'new' way to think of the day Jesus rose to reveal, He did not die in vain.
Blessings, Jeanne
Thank you for your (book) recommendation, Clif! ... Come to think of it, I believe we have a copy down in the HR office.
I never thought about that before, but you're right. I'll have to remember that. Thanks for sharing this with us.
God bless you today and every day!

I have not read this book, but I have read others of his. I love the collection of third days. I have never seen them gathered like that. It is interesting to read them as a unit like that. Thanks!
