Today is Holy Saturday.
The church is empty, just as everything was empty 2000 years ago.
Jesus was gone.
The apostles were frightened.
He said he would be back, but he was dead, buried, and they feared they would not see him again.
The apostles were huddled together, quarantined, having no idea what was next.
That is how we are today. It is rainy, dark, and dreary. We wait patiently. Easter is tomorrow. We will worship with the bishop tomorrow from our living room. We are thankful for technology so we can indeed share the joy of our Risen Savior.
We will see the light again. Jesus will not forsake us. Families will be reunited and life will go back to some new sort of normal. Until then there is much to be thankful for and that is what we will focus on as we wait.....
Lord, be gracious to us;
we long for you.
Be our strength every morning,
our salvation in time of distress.
Isaiah 33:2
