Saturday – Psalm 22:1-5; 22-24

Today marks the darkest day in the history of the world—the day God was dead. It is a silent day and a sad day. We must not move quickly through it. It is important for us to sit in the sadness and the grief before we move on to the resurrection. Grief over Jesus’ death leads our hearts to grieve over our own sin. Grief over sin leads to repentance and repentance leads to life. Sit in the darkness and grieve today before we rejoice in the morning.
