THE SATURDAY IN-BETWEEN EASTER DAYS

When we celebrate Easter like this every year, only what many people think about is the Good Friday and the Easter Sunday. What about the Saturday in-between these two days. what happened, and why is this Saturday very important to us as believers?

We know that Good Friday was the day that Jesus suffered many things. He was beaten, scourged, given a crown of thorn, and you know what a thorn can do to somebody, it will give you pain as it is penetrating into the body. He was nailed to the cross on which he died, and finally, he was buried, and everybody left, thinking all was over. Thus, it seems whenever we think of Easter, we think only of Easter Sunday -- the celebration of resurrected life -- or Good Friday -- the death Christ suffered on the cross. 

We never thought as pastor and author Pete Wilson points out in Plan B, of the Saturday In-Between:

"Saturday... It seems like a day when nothing is happening.

It's a day of questioning, doubting, wondering and definitely waiting...helplessness or hopelessness.

Is it possible that Saturday is actually a day of preparation?

... Saturday was the day God was engineering a resurrection."

Yes, there were mixed feeling and thoughts in the hearts of people. But after Saturday, there was Resurrection on the Easter Sunday, he who was dead, is alive again.

So, as believers, understand that when you are suffering many things, even when you have prayed and it seems nothing is happening, know that even in silence, God is working. And after those sufferings and a period of silence, your Resurrection will surely come. Psalm 46:10 says, "“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Sure, the Lord will be exalted in your life. Also. 1 Peter 5:10 says, And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. Hallelujah!!! Glory to God.

Now, if you know very well that Jesus is on the throne of your life, begin to rejoice as you wait patiently for him, and type a confirmatory big Amen
Jesus loves you and I do too.
