Friday; March 29
The day had been filled with all kinds of excitement. There had been a trial, the potential for a riot, mass chaos and executions. Weird stuff had happened – the sun had gone out, the earth had quaked, dead people were up walking and the temple curtain had ripped. People cried, screamed, pondered and died. The day that lead up to the Sabbath had been one for the ages. Now, it was time for rest and reflection. Some would recount the day as a tragedy while others saw it as a victory. It was all a matter of perspective – but one thing for sure, Sunday was coming. Oh there had been other first days of the weeks, but this one would be something special. Luke would describe it this way, “But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.” (Luke 24:1-3). How is your day going? Are you happy or sad
