In celebration of today, a day when the body of Jesus rests sealed in its tomb, and tomorrow’s awakening to find the stone rolled away and an empty tomb is yet to come. I wanted to do something a bit different. Instead of my typical devotional message I want to share something special I have written with you that I hope will bring you peace and joy as you contemplate what this day means. Today is a day of waiting that comes between the crucifixion of Jesus on Good Friday, and the realization of His resurrection on Easter morning. It is a quiet time known by many names… Christians throughout time, and around the world refer to this day in many ways such as Easter Eve, Easter Even, Holy Saturday, Black Saturday, Great Saturday, Low Saturday, Hallelujah Saturday, Joyous Saturday, The Saturday of Light, Mega Sabbatun, Good Saturday, Sábado de Gloria, The day of silence, The day of Reflection, Resurrection Saturday, or simply as The Saturday before Easter, but whatever we call it this is a day of earthly silence as the body of Jesus lies wrapped in its burial shroud and before the morrow’s dawn reveals that He has risen from the dead. Today is a glorious day for all believers… a day when the promise of eternity is at hand, and God’s grace is witnessed in full.
