Saturday – The Longest Day
But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So Peter went out and wept bitterly. Luke 22:60-62
Imagine what a long day Saturday was for Peter.
He had denied his Lord and now Jesus had gone to the cross and being crucified.
On Friday, if someone had told him, “it may be Friday but Sunday is coming,”
it probably wouldn’t have brought him any relief.
He had given everything up for Jesus and then he watched Jesus give everything up for him, but he couldn’t begin to understand what it all meant.
All he knew was that in the moments when it mattered the most, he had denied his Lord, his Teacher, his Master and most of all, his friend.
There is always a day between Friday and Sunday.
A long Saturday.
A day in which we sit and question our choices and what might have been.
But regardless of how long Saturday is, Sunday is still coming.
Jesus is still Jesus and He is still on the throne.
He still has a plan for our lives regardless of where we feel we messed up or missed the mark.
Be assured, if you are in a Saturday in your life right now, Sunday is just around the corner.
Question for
What Saturday’s have your felt yourself in? How did you feel? At what point did you realize that Sunday was still coming?
