Jonah 3:1-5, 10 The Book of Jonah is only two pages long and tells a parable about a man called by God to preach repentance to the pagan city of Nineveh. Jonah’s first response was to sail as fast as he could in the other direction. After his adventures with a large fish, God called him a second time. Today’s passage picks it up from there. Lector: The Word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God. Psalm 25: 4-5, 6-7, 8-9 (Owen Alstott) Teach me your ways, O Lord. 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 In this section of the first letter to the Corinthians, Paul responds to written questions they had sent to him. Some questions had to do with how we, who believe in the next life, should relate to the things of this life. Paul expected that Jesus would return in glory soon, and his advice is basically this: We should not hold on too tightly to the things of this world. Lector: The Word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God. Alleluia Mark 1:15 The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the Gospel. Mark 1: 14-20 Jesus begins his ministry of proclaiming the good news of God’s kingdom and the call to repentance that it demands.

  • On the Third Day Shadows of the Resurrection in Everyday Life
    On the Third Day Shadows of the Resurrection in Everyday Life What does the number “three” mean? Given our context, that may seem like a simple question, and I suspect that more than few minds have jumped immediately a Trinitarian formulation. Your unconscious willingness to participate in this little thought experiment affords me the opportunity to spend a few moments in a discussion of semiotics. You see, the original question is actually not all that simple. Semiotics is the study of signs, that is, the human propensity to allow a thing, (object, word, symbol, concept, etc.) to represent another thing that is more real than the sign itself. Semiotics can be broken down into three major fields of relationships: 1) the relation between the sign and that which it represents, 2) the relation between signs themselves, and 3) the relation between the sign and those who use the signs. While I will touch on all three of these fields, my goal is to focus on the third field in such a way as to develop a new relationship between my hearers and the number three, or to be more precise, not in its cardinal form, but in its ordinal form, “third.” Semiotics also includes the study of the motivation for the use of such signs. The analysis is extremely complex but may be summarized by suggesting that human beings use signs for a quick, simple representation of a thing, while at the same time allowing the investment of enough ambiguity that the sign may say more than the thing itself.

  • Why the Third Day? the Promise of Resurrection in All of Scripture
    Why the Third Day? The Promise of Resurrection in All of Scripture Jason S. DeRouchie* We are nearly two decades into the twenty-first century, and Christians all over the world are still hoping in the resurrection. This hope is not new. We have longed for resurrection since God first awakened faith in the earliest Old Testa- ment saints. Equally, resurrection also should have been dreaded by rebels who persist in their unbelief, for after resurrection comes the judgment. Following the original creation of humanity, Jesus’s resurrection unto glory is the most decisive event in the history of mankind, for it brings the dawning of the new creation (2 Cor. 5:17) and validates that those in Christ are no longer im- prisoned under sin, the payment for which is death (Rom. 6:23; 1 Cor. 15:17). The New Testament is clear that the Scriptures foresaw “that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead” (Luke 24:46; cf. 24:7; John 20:9; Acts 17:2–3; 1 Cor. 15:4) and that, “by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light” both to the Jews and the Gentiles (Acts 26:22–23). These state- ments raise the question: Where does the Old Testament anticipate the third-day resurrection? A close assessment of a number of New Testament texts that cite or allude to specific Old Testament texts gives us an initial clue how those living at the dawn of the new creation were seeing anticipations of the resurrection in their Bible.

  • “On the Third Day”: the Time Frame of Jesus' Death And
    JETS 56/3 (2013) 511–42 “ON THE THIRD DAY”: THE TIME FRAME OF JESUS’ DEATH AND RESURRECTION MARTIN PICKUP* I. INTRODUCTION The three-day time frame of Jesus’ death and resurrection was a part of the earliest Christian preaching. It had a place in the kerygmatic formula that Paul quotes in 1 Cor 15:3–5, a four-line formula that is generally acknowledged to have originated in the very earliest years of the Church.1 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.2 * Editor’s note: Martin Pickup unexpectedly passed away shortly after submitting this piece for pub- lication. This article reflects his interest and expertise in the Jewish background to the NT and in the early church’s proclamation of the bodily resurrection of Jesus. His family, friends, and many former students rejoice in the hope Marty defended with such skill in this article. “So also in Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Cor 15:22). 1 Scholars across the theological spectrum acknowledge the earliness of this formula. Most assign it a date of no more than two to five years after Jesus’ crucifixion. See, e.g., K. Lake, The Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (London: Williams and Norgate, 1907) 37–43; J. J. Smith, “Resurrection Faith Today,” TS 30 (1969) 403–4; G.
