Therefore he says also in another psalm, "'You will not let your Holy One see corruption.' " (Acts 13:35).
Oh, to think of His precious body, broken, speared, beaten, nailed... wrapped in a shroud and and now laid in a grave!
Chris Powers of Full of Eyes ministry (fullofeyes.com) drew this wonderful illustration today:
Joseph took The Body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud and laid it in his own new tomb... (Matthew 27:59-60).
I can't fathom what grief the disciples felt as the death happened and the precious body was brought to Joseph's tomb...and the rock slid shut. How alone they must have felt! How perplexed and upset. Their lives must have seemed devoid of meaning. After all, Peter said to Jesus when Jesus had asked "Are you going to leave me too?" and Peter uttered his words, "Where would we go? You have the words of life". Now the Word of life was dead. Or it seemed so. Where would they go? What would give their life meaning, now?
They must grieve for a few more agonizing hours, before all would become clear.
However, the wondrous Father will not let Jesus molder in the tomb. Jesus rose before that could ever happen! Oh, the joy of Sunday!
Our Savior lives!!
Good Friday the most evil day in all of history. Saturday the most grief-stricken day in all of history. Sunday the most joyous day in all of history!
