I’m not going to post a lot today because it’s a beautiful spring day here in Alaska and I’m going out hiking. Maybe I’ll wake a spring bear.
I want to thank the people who have been visiting and those who are now following my blog. And now for a brief message …
Today could rightfully be called Black Saturday. Think about it. Just about 2000 years ago, mankind killed God in the flesh, Jesus. They hung Him on a cross and He died. His followers ran away. They abandoned Him. They scurried around the edges of His execution and did nothing. Peter denied Him three times. John had enough contacts to get into the chamber to watch his best friend’s trial and beating, but he still didn’t try to save Him.
Where do you think the disciples were on Black Saturday?
Hiding in a hole. Scrambling to return to their homes and pretend they never knew Him. Weeping. Examining themselves and finding they weren’t all that good. They promised to follow Him wherever He went and they ran away!
Today is Black Saturday. Jesus is dead and you’re responsible. Think about it!
Have a joyous Resurrection Day, Aurorawatcherak! Another great post. We and the disciples are so human, so afraid and of so little faith. May we be more obedient and allow our faith to grow.
