Saturday

Saturday for most of us means preparing for Easter egg hunts, Easter dinner, pretty outfits, and baskets full of candy. Saturday for those who had witnessed Jesus' crucifixion was something else. The difference between us and them is that we know what Sunday holds, but they had no idea. They believed that Jesus was dead and gone and the hope for all He promised was gone too. We can only imagine that they were confused and completely crushed. In some churches, they tie the doors closed after the Good Friday service to signify the hopelessness that Jesus' followers must have felt. Saturday must have been a horrible day. If they'd only realized what was going to happen on Sunday, all there hopelessness would have turned into anxious anticipation. But we know what Sunday brings. Thank God that Sunday is coming!
