Today… I would like to connect the dots between symbolism of the number 3 and the resurrection or restoration that God has planned for us. The number 3 is very powerful symbolically in Scriptures. It is used in so many ways that I would probably need to have a 6 part Sermon Series to discuss all of the spiritual attributes of the number 3. Today, I will only focus on the symbolism of the number 3 regarding a resurrection or restoration. In Scriptures, the number three usually represents completion or finality… beginning… middle… end. We will see today that the number 3 represents three different situations. 1) A physical restoration or resurrection to life. 2) A restoration or resurrection of someone’s future when they are deemed “as good as dead.” 3) A restoration or resurrection of someone from being spiritually dead to becoming a new creature in Christ.
