Today’s Encouragement is, “And when all the crowd that came to see the crucifixion saw what had happened, they went home in deep sorrow.” Luke 23:48 NLT
They went home –
Can you imagine His followers’ shock, horror, disappointment, grief, sorrow, emptiness, and complete despair, especially the disciples? Their leader, master, and friend had been arrested, tried, beaten, crucified, and now was dead. Three years of following, listening, questioning, and finally coming to sincere faith in this Man… all crushed!
Turning from Golgotha, they went home, heads hung, hearts broken, hopes dashed, and in deep sorrow, questions and fears creeping in, “What if I’m next?” “Was it all for nothing?” “How could this be the end?”
Gathering together in their grief, they wept, mourned, and perhaps… those with the strongest faith – prayed.
My friends, this is the Friday and Saturday experience. Sometimes, we may experience similar despair, sorrow, grief, and dismay, questioning our trials, painful circumstances, and even our faith. But whatever we may be facing… remember… It’s only Friday; Sunday is coming!
And for us who believe… Sunday Has Come! Christ is Risen! And in this, all our hope resides!
Thank You, Father, for the Resurrection of Jesus our Lord, the essential truth of our Faith!
