"Jesus waited THREE days to come back to life. It was perfect! If 
he had only waited ONE day, a lot of people wouldn’t have even heard he died. They’d be all, “Hey Jesus, what up?” and Jesus would probably be like, “What up? I DIED yesterday!” and they’d be all, “Uhh, you look pretty alive to me, dude…” and then 
Jesus would have to explain how he was resurrected, and how it
was a miracle, and the dude’d be like “Uhh okay, whatever you 
say, bro…” And he’s not gonna come back on a SATURDAY. Everybody’s busy, doing chores, workin’ the loom, trimmin’ the beard, NO. He waited the perfect number of days, THREE. Plus 
it’s SUNDAY, so everyone’s in church already, and they’re all in 
there like “Oh no, Jesus is DEAD”, and then BAM! He bursts in the
back door, runnin’ up the aisle, everyone’s totally psyched, and FYI, that’s when he invented the high five. That’s why we wait three days to call a woman, because that’s how long Jesus wants us to wait…. True story"
