You Can Count on God by Max Lucado - 7 Day PlanSample
ON SUNDAY
It had been three days since the crucifixion. Jesus had promised that on the third day he would rise (Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:34).
Friday was day one. Saturday was day two.
Friday evening was quiet. Saturday was sad.
On Friday the devils danced. On Saturday the demons feasted.
On Friday the disciples fled. On Saturday they wept.
On Friday heaven’s finest Son died and was buried. On Saturday he spoke not a word.
On Friday the angels lowered their heads. On Saturday they kept their vigil.
But on Sunday, on the third day, in the predawn hours, in the heart of Joseph’s tomb, the heart of Jesus began to beat.
Oh, to have seen the moment. To have heard the sudden intake of air. To have observed the eyes of Jesus blink open and seen a smile. Don’t you know a smile spread across the Victor’s face! The first breath of Christ meant the final breath of death.
