Darkness. Despair. Hopelessness. Loss. Meaninglessness. Grief. Sadness. A sense of horror. A feeling of anguish. A rush of guilt. A flood of memories. An avalanche of abandonment. The crush of defeat. The reality of death. The confusion. The perplexity. The misunderstanding. The displaced faith. ALL IS LOST!

Can you imagine how the disciples felt? How they tried to reason through the events of the last hours. How they had been so deceived to follow Jesus, with all His outlandish claims, and His lofty teachings? How they had forsaken all to follow Him? And now THIS! THIS?

The crush of Saturday is settling in. The reality of His death is taking hold. The loss of everything has taken all hope, and left them reeling in the aftermath.

BUT – SUNDAY’S COMING!
