And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

-John 19:42, NLT

Dreams shattered.

Hope stolen and crushed on the cross. 

His political enemies seemingly victorious having executed Jesus in the most humiliating and excruciating way known to humanity.

Now, it was just a mop up operation.

What were His followers to do?

Holy Saturday.

I do not know about you, but I know what it is to live in my own version of Holy Saturday. The future looks desolate, and you struggle to figure out what way forward exists.

Today, I want to encourage you if you are feeling the weight of Holy Saturday…

Resurrection Sunday is coming!

It might not look like what you expected. However, I assure you that your personal Resurrection Sunday will be authored by the One who loves you and writes plans to prosper you (see Jeremiah 29:11).
