I love this song because it depicts what Jesus’ followers must have been feeling after He was crucified but before He rose from the grave.
This song was inspired by an article in Relevant Magazine titled “Stuck in Saturday.” The article depicts how hopeless life must have felt on that Saturday after Jesus’ crucifixion.
“But what about Saturday? It seems like a day when nothing is happening. In reality, it’s a day full of questioning, doubting, wondering and definitely waiting. It’s a day when we wonder if God is asleep at the wheel or simply powerless to do anything about our current problems.”
It goes on to share why even in our darkest days we have hope.
“But here is the message of the Gospel for you while you’re stuck in your helpless Saturday-life: God does His best work in hopeless situations. We worship a God who specializes in resurrections. He specializes in hopeless situations. After all, at Easter, we celebrate that He conquered death—the ultimate hopeless situation—so you could have life.”
Such a beautiful reminder of our hope in seasons of waiting and times of pain. I’ve included the link to the article below and I strongly encourage you to check it out and let me know what you think!
