Luke 23:50-24:3
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.

Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for your word, that became our bible to read and study and meditate on everyday…words divinely inspired…truth to our hearts and minds to sanctify us and grow us up into the image of Jesus. Today I read some verses in Romans chapter 8…”…there is therefore now no more condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus”. Father, thanks for that awesome promise. Being in Christ assures us of eternal life both now and forever…the forgiveness of our sins, a home in heaven, and the Spirit of God living within us to lead us and guide us into the way everlasting…praise the Lord and thanks again for your great salvation bestowed upon each of us who love and believe in Jesus. In his name we pray, Amen!!!
