And Good Friday comes round again. Love is put to death as a scandal and a criminal. Saturday is a limbo time. A time of sadness in the wake of death, but also a time of patient anticipation for those of us who stand forever on this side of Easter. The tomb is empty.
Life is come again.
Hope is reborn. The story of Holy Week is so powerful for so many because it is a story we live again and again. We walk the path of Jesus, from the Jerusalem road to Golgatha to Easter morn, in the churning, tumbling, unfolding of our lives. Jesus walks his path in our lives with us. Blessed are we who turn now and step into the Drama.
