Stille Zaterdag

I follow David Nasser (http://www.davidnasser.com/) on Twitter. I discovered him my his visits on the Rick and Bubba Show(http://www.rickandbubba.com/). His testimony is amazing and he is the author and co-founder of the book Glory Revealed as well as its two CD's. I love it when he's on the show. His words, both written and spoken have ministered to me greatly!

Yesterday, I checked my twitter and shuffled through the things that interest me, both spiritual and non. David had twittered that Dutch Christians still call today Stille Zaterdag "Silent Saturday". WOW!! This day, around 2000 years ago, the earth stood silent. Those who had followed this Jesus of Nazareth were silent. Those who put Him to death were silent. Max Lucado even wrote a book entitled The Angels Were Silent. The Earth was silent. The worst that could ever happen to the heavens, the earth and to all its inhabitants had happened. God had been murdered by those He loved the most. His own creations.

The Christ haters were silent, wondering what would come next. Christ's followers were also wondering how they were to live now and how much longer they would be walking the face of the earth. I have no proof of this, but wonder if the animals were even silent. Worse than hurricanes, earthquakes and any other natural disasters, the One present at the making of all was dead, entombed and locked away behind a massive stone.

Silence, despair and waiting. Silent Saturday. Everything and everyone holding their breath. What was next? Want to know? Read the last few chapters of any of the Gospels; Matthew, Mark, or John. Attend a Sunrise service. Walk into any church that you can find. Then, as Paul Harvey used to say, you will hear "the rest of the story". And believe you, me, its a doozy!

Happy Silent Saturday, dear ones!
