Between the crucifixion and the resurrection. A time of intense waiting. Unsure of the unknown. The disciples endured the embattled spectrum of human emotions. Hope laced with fear. Faith mingled with doubt.
And yet the only thing they could really do was . . . wait. They couldn’t solve the life altering dilemma caused by Christ’s last breath. Not knowing if the Roman crucifiers might bang on their closed doors next. There would be no solution to their desperation unless Jesus did more than the improbable . . . but the impossible.
And the same Savior who defied the odds for them on that first Easter Sunday defies the odds for you on this Easter Sunday. The empty tomb emptied them of their doubts and desperation then. And the empty tomb still does the same today for those who choose to believe.
“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” ~ John 11:25-26
