Last weekend I shared with you about the last week of Jesus' life on this earth, not after the ascension,

after the resurrection before the ascension, but before his resurrection. And we talked about Friday through the Thursday and now

we're going to talk about Friday Saturday and Sunday and I told you that I

would probably preach on the last day, but as I prayed, I couldn't just preach on Friday,

without talking about Saturday and Sunday as well, because Sunday turned out pretty well, you know, and resurrection day. So we're going to talk about Friday,

Saturday, and Sunday, but I need to remind you that a Jewish day begins when sundown and the way they interpret that

there's nothing in scripture that says this but at one point they decided we need to kind of have a precise

time and so they so they say when three stars appear and the scripture they base it on is two or three witnesses. So that third star is the third

witness that the day is the evening has begun and it goes back to Genesis one the evening in the morning or the

first day the evening in the morning where the second day okay so we're gonna

talk about that but these three days to me represent the death, the burial, and the resurrection, which are the three

parts of the gospel.

So we'll talk about that.

Just so you know the scripture, 1st Corinthians 15,

uh, verse 3, Paul said, I deliver to you first of all,

that which I also received, and these are the three parts of what we call the gospel,

because verse 1 of chapter 15 says this is the

gospel and of course the word gospel means good news so here's the good news that

Christ died for our sins that's good good news. According to the scriptures, that he was buried and that

he rose again on the third day according to the scriptures. Now we're going to talk about also why the Bible doesn't just say that he died and

rose again but why being buried is important and why burial is important.

Alright, so number one, point number one is the first day. So we're going to talk about that first day.
