NKJV 365 / Third Day

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 102 of 365 In order to dispel any doubt, the angel confirms his message by recalling Christ's own words. In calculating the third day, the first day is Friday, the day on which Christ died before sundown. The second is Saturday, the Sabbath on which Christ rested in the tomb. The third day, which begins after sundown on Saturday, is the day of Resurrection, Sunday. Taken from The Orthodox Study Bible Luke 24:5-7 NASB 5 and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among the dead? 6 He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, 7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."
