It was Saturday morning. It was Sabbath day, and every good Jew would find them their way to the temple to offer up sacrifice, to worship, to spend time with their God.

I wonder what the followers of Jesus did on this sabbath day. Most sabbaths in the last three years they would be in the temple or listening to Jesus teach. But now he was gone.

I’m sure they were full of emotion. Fear that they were the next ones to be crucified. Confusion as to what happened. Loss of hope. For some there was guilt for abandoning him. For all of them and overwhelming sense of grief.

Yet, well, their hope seemed a locked behind a stone in a dark, cold tomb. They didn’t realize that in God‘s silence He was working.

We aren’t exactly sure what Jesus did during the time that he was in the tomb, but we know that God was working. Death was being destroyed.

Peter tells us, Jesus was preaching to those who had gone on before. Most importantly, a battle raged between death and life, forgiveness, and sin, Satan and God himself.

It’s Saturday, but Sunday’s coming.

You may be doubting God’s working in your life right now.

You may be full of confusion and grief and doubt and anger and guilt in a whole plethora of other emotions.

Remember this, hold tight to your faith. Because in the darkness of the tomb, God was working. And in the darkness of your life right now, God is working.

This may be your Saturday. But remember, God is working and Sunday’s coming.
