The resurrection of Jesus gives us the power to close between the life we are living and the one we could live. Why 3 days? 1 Peter 2:21-25 (MSG) 21-25 This is the kind of life you’ve been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it,step-by-step.
