Today is known as the "Day of Despair". In Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John there is nothing more written beyond the burial of Christ until Sunday morning. The disciples were still in shock. They were hoping against all hope that they were just in the middle of a bad dream. But, this was reality. Jesus was dead. He was in the tomb. They did not know what to do next. They did not have the benefit that we have, of living on the other side of the resurrection. Today, read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 and in the silence of this day give praise to the Lord God Almighty for the hope that we now have because of the battle Jesus Christ waged against death on this day!
