Holy Saturday! Today it seemed all hope was gone. Jesus was dead. He was laid to rest. His body was anointed and wrapped in clean linens, then was laid in a tomb. The stone was rolled over the entrance and now it surely seemed to be the end.
Up to this point, death was final. But while those He lived with, laughed with, and cried with, were in their deepest sorrow – the GREATEST of all MIRACLES was taking place. Jesus was conquering death, hell and the grave, and this tomb would soon be empty and Jesus would soon show Himself alive to His disciples. I love this. Dumb devil! He thought he had won, but 1 Corinthians 2:8 says "None of the rulers of this world understood it, because if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." And, from that point to today.....we continue to give that dumb devil the reminder that "We know the rest of the story, and the end of the BOOK, and WE WIN!"
