The three holiest days of the church year.

Tonight, the table hosts a meal. Tomorrow, the cross provides a place of execution. Saturday, the tomb becomes a holding place for a man’s body, a place of sorrow and of wondering.

But then, the table, the cross, and the bodies of men become altars on which the daily sacrifices of life are united to the eternal sacrifice of Christ the High Priest.

God renews His eternal “Yes” to mankind. “It is very good.” “I make all things new.”

The end leads back to the beginning. The beginning of these three days is tied to their end. The three days in one. The pivotal day of eternity.
