Believe Him

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Matthew 12:40

One of the many 'faith tests' in the scriptures comes from those days and nights we count on our fingers from Good Friday to Resurrection Sunday, and come up short in our counting. We can talk about Passover and what day of that week it began, or how the crowds in Jerusalem necessitated an extension to maybe Thursday, or this, that, or the other thing. We might even discuss how our day names come from pagan deities. But a couple of things about the Crucifixion of my Lord Jesus and His Resurrection come to mind. Counting on my fingers and naming days will not save me, but believing my Lord Jesus will. Therefore I suggest: believe Him.

And we went rejoicing in our faith in Jesus!
