Saturday's Test of Faith

Good morning and happy Saturday. It's not a usual Saturday so we must finish the story. Jesus is no longer in the world. Their King and Savior is dead. How can this be? He is in a tomb and it's the Sabbath. For those who believed in who He was, there is great remorse for the loss. For those who didn't there was great relief, as the trouble maker is gone.  This day fascinates me the most. What were they gonna do?  Did they remember what He told them about rising on the third day? Doubt had to play a huge role in their day today. Would He come back? Where is your faith at? Do you believe in Him? Does all this matter at all to you? If not, story over. If so, what are you gonna do about what He's left behind for us to do? As these people sat around questioning the same things, they had a choice to make. History shows us what they chose and how they're lives we're changed. It's the same today for us and the decisions and choices are the same. Follow His will or not. Trust in Him or not. But if you trust and believe then you have to obey. We have to put our whole selves into it or get out. They had the same choice. Nothing from Jesus' time has changed really. It's just in our time and we didn't have Him walking among us and teaching us. But yet we do, the Bible. He is with us and left the Holy Spirit to dwell within us. Have great faith in the risen King today. Prepare the way for His resurrection tomorrow and the dwelling of the Spirit within you. In love always.
