On This Day of Holy Week....
Soldiers stood a very vigilant guard over a heavily sealed tomb.
There was silence on the outside of it...
and the inside of it.
Saturday must have been a quiet and foggy day for the disciples.
I imagine there were moments of shock, as well as deep clarity,
regarding the gravity of the situation.
We must remember, they did not know of Easter Sunday on this day.
All they knew with certainty was before their eyes was an empty cross
and blood had been shed...
and nearby was a filled and heavily sealed tomb.
I know what I do after a funeral of someone I love deeply, don't you?
Don't you, sit around and remember....
or at least try to...what they said or did.
He said it was His Body...it was given for us...
He said it was His Blood poured out for us...
He said Love God and Love others...
He said, with God nothing is impossible...
This was not a movie.
This was not just a made up story.
This was THE VERY Son of God Himself,
Who gave His VERY Own Life....for you and for me.
God, What You have done for us, is unspeakable and indescribable. Thank You. May we hear and obey Your words.
