Silent Saturday

This weekend is huge on the Christian calendar. We've gone through Maundy Thursday which commemorates the events of the Upper Room- washing the disciples feet, the betrayal of Judas Iscariot, the mandate (Maundy)to love one another as Jesus loves (John 13:34, 35), the Last Supper, and the agony of Gethsemane. Then the death of Jesus which is our "Good Friday." We look forward to Easter Sunday and the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ. "He is alive!" But what about Saturday? Jesus is in the tomb. Maybe this silent Saturday is good. It causes us to reflect upon what Jesus has done up to this point. It causes us to pause and catch our breath. The whole universe is silent on this Saturday. What will really happen next? Jesus has predicted His rising again. But will it really happen? The silence is deafening until Sunday morning and the cries begin to ring out, "He's alive!" May this day be one to be silent and reflect on His great love for you. But be ready to rejoice and celebrate tomorrow! These are the days my friend.
