Day Two - Silent Saturday (2 of 3)
Series: Three Days That Changed the World
Mike Stone
Luke 23:50-56
Part Two in the Easter series ''Three Days that Changed the World.''
Today's lesson is the second in a series of messages looking at the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. We are examining 3 important days and I hope to take these 3 days and apply them to the days in which we live. They are indeed ''Three Days that Changed the World.''
Without getting into a debate about the day of the week that the Lord was crucified, I will use the traditional timeline that involves a Friday crucifixion and a Sunday resurrection. In part one, we looked at Good Friday. Next time we will celebrate Resurrection Sunday. But today, I want us to look at the day in between. In some ways, it's the forgotten day. It's called ''Silent Saturday'' but today I believe it can tell us a lot if we will listen to it speak.
You know, certain days in human history are ''famous.'' If we just limit it to American history:
July 4, 1776 - The Declaration of Independence
April 9, 1865 - The end of the US Civil War
September 2, 1945 - The official end of WWII
Other days in history are ''infamous.'' That is, they are famous for evil.
December 7, 1941 - Attacks at Pearl Harbor
November 22, 1963 - Assassination of JFK
September 11, 2001 - The terror attacks in NY, DC, and PA
But here, we are going to study an important, but often overlooked day. The day between the crucifixion and the resurrection. Day 1 and Day 3 are among the most studied and ''preached about'' days in human history.
Again, I am not getting into the debate over ''Which day of the week'' Christ was crucified. I've dealt with that in a sermon in the past as we moved through John's gospel. I am also convinced that we shouldn't get hung up on that debate.
But for our purposes here, consider Crucifixion Day as Day 1 and consider Resurrection Sunday as Day 3. Because regardless of how you count ...
