If you are just joining us today, don’t miss yesterday’s post. For the rest of you, welcome back!
DAY 2: Saturday
Have you ever seen Fiddler on the Roof? If so, there’s a scene in there that shows the families rushing home to prepare for Sabbath. That’s pretty much what Jesus did on Friday. He hurried to get to Bethany, the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus. And He needed to get there by sunset!
Today of Holy Week would have been the full Sabbath day for Jesus. It had started sundown Friday evening and would go through sundown Saturday for the Jews.
The Sabbath would be spent completely resting. And so, we don’t find much in the Scriptures that tell us about what He did that day.
With that, it’s interesting to note, this was the last day Jesus would have to really, really rest. But something tells me He spent the entire day teaching…and probably eating. 🙂
Thot for today:
Jesus rested on the Sabbath…do you?
Join us tomorrow, as we follow in His steps…
