Day 3 - The Third Day

Sitting in our breakfast room this morning, looking out on a beautiful fall day, I was thinking about this, the third day on our little 40 day trek. Of course there are many references in the New Testament about Jesus rising from the dead on the third day, interestingly enough none in John's gospel (at least not using that phrase, 'on the third day') but plenty in the other three. John does tell us about a wedding on the third day where Jesus turns water into wine and we are told, "This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him." (John 2:11) I've always wondered why we are told it took place on the third day, other than that's when it did, but it has struck me as interesting given that we are told it was the beginning of signs and where he manifested his glory and where faith came.

Anyway, I hope we are all staying daily with the core proclamation of our prayer, and that it's starting to come to mind and heart throughout the day.
