There are moments in life when everything appears as though nothing is working. During those times, God works behind the scenes.
Saturday was a silent moment in the disciples’ lives. They had witnessed Jesus’ glorious entry into Jerusalem. They saw what happened at the temple. They had the Lord’s Supper. They saw Jesus being captured, tortured, and crucified. Finally, they saw their master die on the cross. Everyone fled as it was written. “I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of his flock will be scattered” (Matthew 26:31).
The disciples woke up on Saturday morning to a quieter day. It was a silent moment. Everything they thought they were working for seemed to have stopped. There was no Jesus, no crowd, no miracles, and no words. They wailed in their grief. Meanwhile, their enemies rejoiced. They believed they had stopped a menace in society. What they did not know was that Jesus Christ was working, thereby defeating Satan and his cohorts.
Today, let these words encourage you if you find yourself in a silent moment. God is working behind the scenes. Jesus Christ won, so you can win. I came to declare that you will come out bigger and better than anything you can ever think of. Happy Easter!
Uplifting Christ
