What do you do when a bolder is in the way of hope? It’s too big to move, there are others who are keeping you from it, and even if you could move it, it’s just another dead end. Well, that depends - on whether you’re talking about your view or what’s going on behind the bolder or God's view.
Jesus’ followers must have felt the same way. Everything they had placed their hopes and dreams in lay dead in the garden in a new tomb. That Saturday represented death, loss, and an unfulfilled life.
What does Saturday – today, represent in your life? What have you placed your hopes and dreams and based your very future on? My friend, it may be Saturday from your side of the bolder, but grab hold of some hope because Sunday’s-a-comin’! Saturday represents the way we see things in our lives – the problems too big, there are too many people in the way, and even if we tried it, it would only be another dead end. But Sunday – oh sweet Sunday, is a view from God’s side of the bolder, where death is not final, but only a seed getting ready to burst forth into new life!
What we see as death, God sees as the doorway to life. Don’t give up! It may be Saturday, but Sunday’s-a-comin’!
