The first Saturday after the resurrection was a day of great sadness and fear. The followers of Jesus were living in great fear and did not know what to think. The one who they had thought to be the Messiah was now dead. Everything they had trusted in and believed in for the past three years had been shattered. But only for another day.
Our pre-Easter Saturdays are probably much different now. We look forward to Sunday with great anticipation, knowing how the story ends. We start to get excited about worshiping our risen Savior together, as we also look forward to our own resurrection when Christ returns! We eagerly await the day when Christ will restore the earth to the way that he has always wanted it to be, and comes and lives amongst us again forever!
But let us remember this journey of Lent and what it has taught us. Let us not forget the sacrifices we have made so that we could rid ourselves of distractions and sin. Let us celebrate the change in our hearts and attitudes that this type of discipline gives to us! And let us not forget to share this wonderful, life-changing message that comes from the empty tomb!
