I just want to close by encouraging you to put your trust in Him (In God).Don't become too dependent on things that won't last.Let me read this verse to you and hopefully things will make more since."Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6---To read more of my notes visit:[The SunShining Blog](https://thesunshining.weebly.com/sunshining-blog.html)

# DS :: 3 days and 3 nights? :: (Some biblical math)(How long was Jesus Dead?)Today is Easter, or was it yesterday?Depends on when you watch this.The point is that Easter was just celebrated.It is a really huge event in the Christian Church.For some people it is the only day they go to church.But is Easter a Christian holiday?If you do any amount of research I am sure you will find that it has some pagan origins.I won't go into detail on Easter today.What I want to talk about today is the death and resurrection of Jesus.There is no doubt about it being a historical event.---"But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." - Matthew 12:39:40"The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away." - John 19:31"And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him." - Mark 16:1"And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment." - Luke 23:56"Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them." - Luke 24:1---The question is how long was Jesus Dead?Jesus was buried around 6:00 PM most people believe on a Friday.And most believe that he rose Sunday morning.They also believe that He was in the grave 3 days and 3 nights.But that math just doesn't add up.Some people even say he rose on a Monday.Why is there so much division and confusion about the death and resurrection of Jesus?I don't know.But I do know that if we do some simple math we can get to the bottom of this.We know what time of day Jesus was buried. (around 6:00 PM)We know that he was in the grave 3 days and 3 nights.We know that he was gone by Sunday Morning.So we also know that he rose around 6:00 PM Saturday evening.If you count back three days and three nights we get to Wednesday evening.We know Jesus was buried Wednesday evening, because we know that Thursday was a high sabbath.Like I said. Some simple math.3 days and 3 nights.I hope this video gave you something to think about and if you are curious I encourage you to do some more research.---If you are looking for "A simply beautiful place to read, study, and memorize the Bible".Check out SunBibleAvailable on the web at:https://the-sunshining.github.io/SunBible/Or download for your device at:https://sunbible-dev.github.io/download/---### Other Links: [Daily SunShine Website](https://dailysunshinewithncr.weebly.com/)[SunBible](https://the-sunshining.github.io/SunBible/index.html)[Daily SunShine Merch](https://my-store-11528458.creator-spring.com/)[The SunShining Blog](https://thesunshining.weebly.com/sunshining-blog)---#DailySunShine#DailySunShineWithNCR

# DS :: Getting Something out of the Bible(How to stay engaged in God's Word? - Thanks to an Instagram follower for suggesting I do a video about this.) (Reading and Getting Something out of the Bible)(Stay Tuned for more videos on this topic.)---Hi, my name is NCR, and welcome to another episode of Daily SunShine.I love creating and sharing thought-provoking content and encouraging people to get into the Bible.(If that sounds like something you are interested in, I encourage you to hit the subscribe button.)---I have done an episode titled..."How Easy To Read The Bible without getting anything out of it"And"What did I get from that chapter?"But I have never talked about how to get something out of the Bible.So that is what I will be doing today.----In the video where I talked about how easy it is to read the Bible and get nothing out of it.I feel like I bragged too much about how much of the Bible I read.I don't want to brag in this video. But I do just want to say that I have been reading the Bible for a few years. So I have some experience.And today I just want to share some of my top tips on how you can read more and get more out of the Bible.----## 1. Don't treat it like a chore.You read other books for enjoyment right? Why don't you read the Bible for enjoyment too?## 2. Pick a pace that works for you.Read through individual books at a time.Don't take 28 days to read the gospel of Matthew because it has 28 chapters.Read it through in a few days.Maybe someone who has been a long-time Christian and has read through the whole Bible a few times they can take that long. But if you have never the Bible through before. I would recommend sitting down and reading it like a book.## 3. Be intentional about making time to be and spend time in the word of God.(That is basically it for this point.)Pick a time that works for you.## 4. Be involved with a community.I am an introvert. So I love to read the Bible by myself.But being a part of a Christian community can really help you get more out of God's word.And just because you are a part of a group doesn't mean that you should get into God's word by yourself.----Well, that is it for today.Those were just some of my top Bible study tips.There is defiantly more that could on this topic.{That is why I will be doing more videos on Bible reading and Bible study.}If you have any questions on this topic of Bible study or on any spiritual-related topic feel free to ask them in the comments or connect with me on social media and send me a direct message.@TheSunShining on Facebook and Twitter or @TheSunShiningNCR on Instagram.If you watched this far thank you so much. If you haven't already hit the like button and don't forget to subscribe.And as always think about what you have heard from me here at the SunShining.---Links:Daily SunShine WebsiteSunBibleDaily SunShine MerchThe SunShining Blog
