Luke13:31-35 On The Third Day Pharisees warned Jesus that King Herod wanted to kill him (Luke 13:31-35 ESV). Jesus replied, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course.’” Jesus purposed to accomplish the mission! Jesus came to save sinners, like you, like me. No threats were going to deter Him from freeing people from the power of sin, death, and the devil. Jesus continued to preach, teach and heal until the time came for His death in Jerusalem. The ‘third day’ He finished His ministry through death on the cross, “It is finished!” He healed mankind through the cross. The cross broke the chains of sin. Christ’s death put to death to sin’s power to separate us from God and His kingdom for all who believe. He paid the penalty of sin, once for all. He won victory for you. The Father proved this by raising Christ from the dead on the ‘third day’ accepting His sacrifice for you. Jesus said that He longed to gather believers in Jerusalem like a hen gathers her brood, but they would not. Unfortunately, today many people still reject the gracious offer of eternal life in Christ Jesus. On the ‘third day’ it is too late. The Bible says that one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day to God. Christ will return to gather believers unto Himself and to judge mankind. We await the ‘third day.’ On that Day, every eye will see Him and multitudes will proclaim: “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" But, unbelievers will mourn that day eternally. What day is it for you? Pastor Raymond Van Buskirk, Redeemer Lutheran Church, Baytown, TX www.rlcbaytown.org
