As I drove to work today, I was thinking about this weekend, Easter weekend, and what it represents.
Yesterday, we recognized and remembered the day when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was beaten, mocked, and crucified. We remembered that tremendous sacrifice that was made for US!
Tomorrow is a day of celebration! We celebrate the fact that death could not hold Him down! Jesus has risen, He's alive. Hallelujah!
But what about today? I hear so much about Good Friday and Easter Sunday… but what about the middle man, Saturday? What does today represent?
Then it hit me.
It's the waiting period.
I began to think about Jesus' followers. As a human, could I, myself, hold on to what Jesus said? That He would rise again? Would I have the faith to believe that? I just watched Him die and be buried… honestly, I don't know.
Anticipation.
Waiting.
I know what to anticipate today, the day before Easter Sunday.
Tomorrow, I will celebrate with the Body of Christ, that HE IS RISEN!
Something amazing came out of that anticipation.
In my life I am filled with anticipation..
about the next year…
about where my funds are going to come from…
about what life will look like after The World Race…
But I'm in the waiting period. I don't know what God is going to do. I am waiting to see.
But I have assurance in that anticipation.
God's is and will continue to be my strength, my refuge, my protector, my hope… my everything.
And I will wait for Him to reveal everything to me in His time.
This is an amazing song about waiting…
