The day between the the death of Jesus and the resurrection had to be the most bleak and horrendous time for the disciples that scattered and denied the Lord . I think of Peter who must have been in the crushing pain of knowingly betraying he ever knew Jesus . John was probaly consoling Mary as they dealt with the image of a beaten, blooded Jesus dying on the cross. The rest of the disciples would have felt much of the same. Their hearts would have been so heavy with loss , it would have been crippling.
What would happen to them? Would they be next? Did they waste 3 years of their lives and now wonder what would come . It had to be one of the darkest times that a human soul could go through . But oh what wonder and awesome light would break on that Sunday morning .
Luke 23Jesus Is Buried
50 Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man,
51 who had not consented to their decision and action; and he
was looking for the kingdom of God
This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone,
where no one had ever yet been laid.
54 It was the day of
Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning.
55The women
who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
