Silence, Stillness, Darkness (A Holy Saturday Riff)

S

That’s Holy Saturday. It’s perhaps the most non-anything day on the Christian Calendar. A day when all we can really do is join the crucified and buried Jesus in the silence, stillness, and darkness of his tomb.

On Friday we can mourn. On Sunday we can rejoice. But today, on Saturday, all we can do is wait.

The good news, of course, is that silence, stillness, and darkness are precisely where God can be found doing surprising work. Silence, stillness, and darkness are the raw material of miracles.

How will you intentionally join Jesus in silence, stillness, and darkness today?
