Luke 23:50-56
Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty.
“Notice what you notice.” The women who had come with Him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how His body was laid. Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment. (vv. 55-56) Today, a focus on the women… All three Synoptics (but not John) report on the women being at the gravesite. Luke has them returning (?somewhere?) and resting on the Sabbath before coming back the following day. So my mind wanders off to this interlude. Where did they go? What did they do? What did they talk about? Were they grieving? Or did they have hope, remembering Jesus’ words that He would rise again?
So I wonder what we do with our time between Sunday services? Where do we go? What do we do? What do we talk about? Are we moaning and griping? Or do we really live in the hope that we have, remembering Jesus’ words that He would rise again, knowing that He did, knowing that He will come again, and knowing that we, too, will rise with Him??!! Glory!!
Slava Bohu!
