A Day To Wait
wait: –verb 1. To remain inactive or in a state of repose, as until something expected happens
On the Sabbath, the day after Jesus died on the cross and was buried.
Matthew 27:65 "Take a guard," Pilate answered. "Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how." 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.
I think of everyone who loved, was healed and followed Jesus, that day after. They most likely didn't sleep, weeping all night. Who on that day of waiting understood fully what happened and was about to happen? What was it like on that day of mourning, on that Sabbath.
Mary Magdalene and Mary, Joseph of Arimathea, the disciples, did they meet to comfort each other? The ones that fled at the arrest, where did they go? Did they lose hope?
What must have been going through their minds as they remembered what happened just the day before?
It was a day of mourning; a day of waiting and expecting something to happen for those who believed Him.
We know what happened; for us, this Sabbath is a day of remembering.
