REALITY SUNK IN
“It is finished,” He’d cried.
Then He lowered His head
and gave up His Spirit.
Jesus’ followers watched as the earth moved.
Reality sunk in.
Jesus was gone.
They laid Him in a tomb.
A stone sealed away hope.
Reality sunk in.
Jesus was gone.
The disciples mourned.
One day.
The world slept.
Two days.
Reality sunk in.
Jesus was gone.

I hope you’ll share this, but remember the story isn’t over.
It’s only Saturday after Friday before Sunday.
I’ve been pondering how Saturday must have felt for the those who loved Jesus dearly.
I can only imagine the hopelessness that must have consumed them not to mention the deep grief of having loved Christ so deeply and lost Him. It reminds us we can trust Him in our deepest darkness. He’ll let us walk in despair, but the light will soon dawn if we don’t give up hope. Happy Easter, Cheryl!
Happy Easter!
Thanks, Cheryl! Hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter!
