God's Goodness on Saturday

Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday get a lot of attention in the story of Jesus’ work in saving the world…redeeming a people for His own possession…bringing many sons to glory. However, we can often overlook the day in between. Saturday. They had laid their dead Messiah in a grave, one of their own had betrayed them all, their lives were in danger and the worst part of it all was likely the fact that they were left with so many questions, disappointment, disillusionment , and no path forward. Their hopes and dreams and excitement were buried with the One who had turned water into wine, fed 5,000, healed a man born blind, and brought a dead man back to life. After all that…what were they expected to do?…the same thing that they had been doing for the last 1500 years…nothing. God had commanded them to rest.
