Walk With Jesus During Holy Week: Satuday Evening

In our journey through the Passion Week with Jesus, as you have imagined yourself in Jerusalem, on this day in between the crucifixion and the resurrection, you, like all the rest of the Jews, find yourself confused and discouraged. Jesus spent His entire life claiming to be the resurrection and the life (John 11:25), the way and the truth and the life (John 14:6), one with the Father (John 10:30), He claimed to be the Messiah, the Son of God. You don’t crucify the Son of God. That just doesn’t happen. But this man, who claimed all that is now dead. Confusion, tears, hopelessness, are all part of what you are feeling. If Jesus was crucified then He wasn’t who He claimed to be, and certainly not who we thought He was. There was no dream to keep alive, no movement to keep advancing; it was over.

Right now, wherever you are, do you know – because you know – that Jesus is your King, your Messiah, your Savior, your best friend, or do you sometimes wonder if that is true because you find yourself confused and discouraged? Like the apostles asked, take a minute and ask Jesus to “increase (y)our faith!” (Luke 17:5)
