Four Fateful Days
by Dr. Glenn Mathews
There are four days in human history that are
incomparable, inseparable and inevitable.
Three of them are past, and the fourth is yet
to come.

There are four days in human history that are
incomparable, inseparable and inevitable.
Three of them are past, and the fourth is yet
to come.
The first is the day of the birth of Jesus. We generally refer to it
as Christmas. But, in truth, Christ has always been the “anointed”
of God. He is eternal. Christmas is the day we celebrate when
Christ became flesh and was born of a virgin.
The second is the day of His death. He lay down his life for the
sins of us all. Instead of casting blame on any group of people for
the crucifixion of Christ, we should be praising God that “He gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life”.
The third day of course, is the day of His resurrection. What
happened on the second day pays our sin debt. What happened
on the third day gives us life!
The fourth day that is yet to come is His return for those who
have made the right decision regarding the events of the first three
days.
These four days are indeed incomparable. They are inseparable,
for if any one of the first three had not happened, none of them
would have had any eternal significance. The fourth day is
inevitable. As surely as He came the first time, He is coming the
second time. There is no way to calculate the value of these four
days. Both our identity and our eternity are determined by them.
Thank God for them all!
