Saturday April 7th- Hope Seems Lost Luke 23:50-56

Jesus was dead. Killed like a criminal. Darkness seems to have one. Satan, sin and evil seem to be victorious.
Has God lost? Will man and God ever be reunited? Will every person be eternally separated from a holy God?
Satan has killed God’s son.
Imagine for a moment the disciples hiding in a room somewhere. Struggling with the fact that their friend and the person they believed in and trusted has died. Think of how they may have been questioning their faith saying to themselves “How could this happen”?
It is difficult for us to imagine how dark this day must of been for the disciples and other believers in Jesus. Their mentor, the person who they believed to have been the Christ is dead. They had pretty much not understood any of Jesus’ statements concerning his coming death and resurrection. So here they are concerned, worried, afraid. Understandable so. It seems as if God has lost.
But, Sunday is Coming.
