Mark 15:42-47, April 3

The first time I heard about “Silent Saturday” I wasn’t sure what to think. Good Friday? Yep. Easter Sunday? Yep. But what of Saturday? What of Jesus’ transition into the tomb? Mark highlights that through the care of a man named Joseph who was himself waiting for the Kingdom of God. Believing this was a key step, he took responsibility for Jesus’ body, buried him in the tomb, and rolled the stone. God is still looking for that kind of care for His coming kingdom today! It is one we all can partner in as we share the already love that ran red down the cross in the silence of the not yet. Together we usher in Easter Sunday with investment and intentionality as we should God’s kingdom.
