What a beautiful, loving God we have! I hope you had a wonderful Easter. Ours was quiet and gentle, much different than the Resurrection Morning described in the Bible. I can imagine the disbelief, the stress, the internal panic that probably took place that morning. “What? His body is gone? You are mistaken, I’m sure.” “You SAW Him??” “Wait, what? Who walked with you on the road to Emmaus? Not really?!?” “I don’t believe it!”
And then, finally, at some point the Light began to dawn and understanding came to them. “Oh. That’s what You meant!”
I’m thankful to know the whole story, to be able to navigate Good Friday with absolute assurance. To be able to awaken on Sunday morning with the full knowledge of Jesus’ sacrifice and its meaning. Grateful that I know what happens next in the greatest story ever told.
Grateful, also, for a quiet Easter enjoying the company of my favorite husband. Awed that he will still humor me and color Easter eggs with me.
