Quote and Meditation: On the third day

“On the third day the friends of Christ coming at daybreak found the grave empty and the stone rolled away. In varying ways they realized the new wonder; but even they hardly realized that the world had died in the night. What they were looking at was the first day of a new creation, with a new heaven and a new earth; and in a semblance of the gardener God walked again in the garden, in the cool not of the evening but the dawn.”

— Gilbert Keith Chesterton, English writer & critic (1874-1936)

“After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself, and he will bear their iniquities.”

— Isaiah 53:11
