'And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away. ' (Matthew 27:59)
What is there to be thankful for in Easter Saturday? Yes, the crucifixion had defeated sin. Yet Christ lay dead in the tomb. The disciples must have felt like everything was over.
Yet we can be thankful today, because we knew it was not. The darkness was going to be broken with light. The tears would turn to joy.
We can be thankful because this life we live right now is a bit like Easter Saturday. We're in an 'in-between' stage.
Easter Sunday is coming...
