Chestnut Ridge Church

Holy Saturday is an invitation to stillness, contemplation, and anticipation. On this day, the tomb would still be inhabited—Jesus’ body lying there, broken for us. All the momentum the disciples felt as they were celebrating Jesus coming to be crowned King just days ago came to an abrupt halt—forced stillness. This was a day of sorrow for the Apostles, as they felt their plans and hopes were dashed. Just like the Apostles, we can get ahead of ourselves when we are constantly moving on to what’s next and what we intend to make happen.
