There’s a saying, ” It’s Friday, but Sunday’s a’coming.”

Jesus died on Friday. The disciples and many of the Jews were disappointed, depressed and probably even angry.

” They said unto Him, concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and have crucified Him. But we trusted that it had been He which should have redeemed Israel. ” Luke 24:19-21a

Even though Jesus had told them He would rise again three days after dying, they didn’t get it, understand what He meant and/or believe it. So Saturday comes and He’s dead. What are they going to do? They had loved Him, spent time with Him, trusted Him and put their hopes in Him. They knew He was sent from God, but, now everything had gone to hell in a hand basket.

What they didn’t know on Saturday, is that He really had gone to hell. His plan of redemption was going just as He planned. Things were right on schedule.

Sunday came and Yeshua Messiah had indeed delivered them and everyone whom had come before and whom would come after them. He conquered death and hell. He brought grace and mercy instead law and judgement. He brought renewal and complete healing.

Are you stuck on Saturday? Your dreams have died. You don’t know what the Creator is doing. You love Him, you’ve spent time with Him, you’ve trusted Him, you’ve put all your hopes in Him, you’ve heard Him talk, you’ve read His promises and given your praise and worship to Him. But, everything looks like its gone to hell in a hand basket. So much has turned to ashes, fallen apart or been destroyed.

Believe me when I say I know.  I’m at this very moment stuck on Saturday. I’m wondering when Sunday is going to get here. Unlike the disciples, I know Sunday is Resurrection Day and everything will be put back together. Will He let me die stuck on Saturday? Or will I indeed see all He planned come to fruition. How long will I be stuck on Saturday? Its been years already. How many years do I have left until Sunday arrives?

He’s still proving that He conquered death and hell. He’s still bringing beauty from ashes. He’s still making something out of nothing.

I just have to be patient and keep trusting Him. Sunday’s a’coming.
