Silent Saturday
Silent Saturday
March 30, 2024
Scripture Reading: Psalm 16:10; 1 Peter 3:18-20
Holy Week is anything but silent. Even on Good Friday, Jesus cried out from the cross seven times, including “My God, my God. why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46). But after Jesus breathed His last breath, and they placed His body in the tomb, everything is silent. Saturday is silent. God is silent.
Is God trusting you with His silence? It is tempting to think that He has abandoned you, or that He is angry and disappointed with you. However, His silence might be preparing you for a glorious resurrection and a greater intimacy with Him.
The other days during Holy Week get more attention than Saturday. But don’t miss the opportunity to reflect on Jesus in the tomb and on those times in your life when God is silent.
