“My God, my God, why have You forsaken me.” ~Psalm 22:1; Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34

Those words must have been ringing in their ears on that quiet Saturday.

The man they’ve been following, their Messiah, their hope, was abandoned by the God who sent Him to save them?

The confusion. The questions. Where do I go from here? What hope do I have now? What did I misunderstand?

Of course we know now they misunderstood just about everything regarding what Jesus was sent here to do. He was not sent to save Israel from Roman oppression. There was something much grander waiting.

Sunday was coming.

In your “Silent Saturdays”, the in-between seasons of confusion and distance, remember that the story is far from over.

Sunday is coming.
