Now let me share with you an experience given me this week by a friend of mine, where he was brought to the third, the appointed day. For the purpose of life is to find God and God, when you find him, is God the Father, that’s God. “In many and various ways,” we’re told, “God spoke to our fathers through the prophets; but in these last days he has spoken to us through a Son”. If he spoke to us through a Son, then he’s Father. As we are told in the last book of the Old Testament, the Book of Malachi, “A son honors his father. If then I be a father, where is my honor?” says the Lord of hosts. Where is my son if I am a father? I have no way of knowing that I am a father unless there is a son to bear witness to the fact that I am his father. So, if a son honors his father and I be a father, where is my honor, where is my son? So here, “Wrapped in the silence of the tomb the Great Redeemer lay, and then the revolving skies bring forth the third, the appointed day.”793 ¶2
