Three Days + Two Nights = Hope
Friday, Saturday, Sunday…
We all know that Jesus was crucified and died on Friday and rose on Sunday, the third day. However, not much is said or written about the time in between…the time between the death and resurrection of our Lord. For the small number of believers that constituted the “Church” at that time, it must have been an amazing time of anticipation, nervousness and stress.
And it must have been an amazing time of hope.
Can you imagine?! If on Sunday morning Jesus’ body is lying in that tomb, then all bets are…
Guys, as Tom and I talked yesterday about a prompting I had while out on a run, we both agree that some portion of Jesus' betrayal and Crucifixion should be read this Friday followed by some our testimonies and/or what the cross means to us.
With that said, is there a gospel you think we should read out of? Also, can all who plan on attending have a summed up version of your testimony ready (1 to 2 minutes)? Revelation 12:11 is clear that there is power in our testimonies, let be prepared to use them.

I’m with Jake on the fasting, although the timing will be different.

If you read scripture you will see that anytime there was…

This is for anybody who is likely to wish anybody Happy Easter next Sunday: Today is Palm Sunday and it’s the day that Jesus entered Jerusalem. Even “non-believers” believe that Jesus entered Jerusalem about a week before He was crucified. Believers believe that He knew full well what He was about to do this upcoming week and that it would culminate in his death on Good Friday. So today starts Holy Week. Even non-believers believe that He spent the week teaching and that He was doing things that, if He simply hadn’t done…
Love that idea! I plan to fast from death to resurrection. Would be amazing to do it as the dudes community...
