It is Holy Saturday. That day between the suffering on the Cross and the celebration of the Resurrection. It is a day to reflect, a day to remember that Jesus lay in the tomb.
We often wonder why Good Friday and Holy Saturday had to happen. And, trust me, my friends, these two days did happen. We have to remember, there can be no celebration of the Resurrection without His suffering and death.
Like Good Friday was for us, our Holy Saturday may be sad. We can’t help but think about how Jesus suffered and died. Just keep in mind, although we’ve had really two bad days, Sunday is coming.
And, oh, the joy we’ll feel when we celebrate His resurrection. Oh, how we’ll praise God and thank Him for His sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Today is a day of solitude, silence and stillness. A day to reflect and contemplate this day of Jesus’ earthly journey.
Please join me in praying a short simple prayer for our Holy Saturday. Dear God, Today is a day to carve out chunks of time for praying. It’s a day to thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die, lay in the tomb and be resurrected.
It’s a day to wait, reflect and remember the true meaning of Easter. May we slow down on this Holy Saturday. May we do less and free our minds of everything but thoughts about Holy Saturday and what it really means.
His death was not fake. He really died on the cross. He really was placed in the tomb. And He lay there for Holy Saturday. Guards stood outside because they thought Jesus’ Disciples may try to steal the body.
But it didn’t matter how many guards were there. Easter was still coming. Holy Saturday was part of Your plan. Jesus had to die so that there could be a glorious resurrection.
We are forever thankful to You, Lord. Thank You for every second, every minute, hour and day of Easter. From His trip into Jerusalem until His resurrection, thank You.
We don’t know where we would be without Jesus. We don’t know how we would make it in this crazy world without having Jesus in our lives. We are so blessed.
No matter what is going on in the world, no matter the chaos, we will keep peace in our heart and remember Holy Saturday. And we will continue to thank You for making Easter possible for us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
I’m sending you this Holy Saturday hug to bring peace to your heart. It’s to let you know that you are loved and cared for. Never forget that. God loves you and will never leave you. With this hug, I am saying, “Keep hope in your heart because Easter morning is coming. God loves you and I do too.”
Sending you blessings of love and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!
