Yesterday we closed out another resurrection weekend and holy week. It’s amazing that the story of the resurrection of Christ never gets old. I would even suggest that every year we get something new from the story. This year through some devotional readings I begun to think about Saturday. Saturday is the day between Christ death and the day he arose. I reflected on what that day must have been like for his followers and disciples. They had just loss the man they thought came to save them. The man they believed could never be destroyed. How could the son of God be killed? It didn’t make sense. I’m sure that in that moment, they even questioned their faith and why they would follow someone that would allow himself to be killed. Needless to say, Saturday (or the day before the resurrection) was a hard day. They were in the in-between. They couldn’t go back but they also were having a hard time moving forward.

This story hit because it is so close to our daily lives and our relationships with God. When you find yourself in a place of despair or you hit a rough patch, you will go through similar emotions. You can’t go back and change what happened but you can’t see the end in front of you. How do you move on? You remind yourself that you are in the in-between. When you are in the in-between the only thing left to do is to keep believing, moving and trusting. Because although the disciples were in despair on Saturday, on Sunday, they learned that all was not lost and that Jesus still sits on the throne and he worked it out for our good. So as you stand in the storm or uncomfortable situation, just remember that all is not lost and that Jesus is on the other end working it out for your good. Everything will work out for the good if only you believe.
