We Must Remember
Tim Melton
Luke 24:1-12
Can you imagine what it must have been like for the followers of Jesus on Saturday, the day after Jesus had been crucified? All was lost. Jesus was dead. They had given up everything to follow Jesus. They believed with all of their hearts that He was the promised Messiah and Savior who had been prophesied about for hundreds of years. Yes, they had run away when Jesus was arrested. Yes, they feared death as much as the next person, but they truly believed. Every verse of prophecy that had been foretold about the Messiah came true in the life of Jesus Christ. It was beyond imagination. For those who had ears to hear and eyes to see there was no mistaking that Jesus Christ was the promised Messiah. He made the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the lame to walk and the mute to speak. In addition, He had turned water to wine. He had fed thousands with just a few loaves and fish. He healed a leper. He cast out demons. He calmed the sea. He even raised the dead to life again. Truly the Savior had come. . . and now He was dead. It must have been like a nightmare that you keep trying to wake up from, but you can’t. Jesus of Nazareth, their Messiah, the Messiah, was dead. Now what? How could this have happened? He was God in the flesh. Even though Jesus had warned them multiple times, it was as if they never saw it coming. (John 2:18-22; Matthew 12:39-40; Matthew 16:21; Matthew 27:62-64) Even with the fulfillment of all of the Messianic Prophecies and Jesus’ predictions of His own death, burial and resurrection, Jesus’ followers must have been devastated on that Saturday as Jesus Christ lay dead in the tomb.
Have you ever experienced a ‘‘Saturday’’ in your life when everything went wrong and you were ruined? When God seemed to be gone and life seemed to be hopeless? In those moments what did you do? So, there they were, in hiding. Scared for their own lives and devastated that Jesus was gone. But then we read about the courage ...
