In Jewish law, the Sabbath began at sundown. Jesus was crucified on Friday and was removed from the cross before sundown that same day. Saturday was the Sabbath, but it was also a day between days.

Those who believed or who came to believe as Jesus suffered and died on the cross understood His promise. The Victory had been sealed, but the expectancy and the uncertainty and the mourning continued all day on the Jewish Sabbath.

Yet, we know what a glorious day Easter Sunday represents. We do not serve a dead prophet; we serve a risen, living King.

He Lives

by an unknown author

I serve a risen Saviour,
He’s in the world today;
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say;
I see His hand of mercy,
I hear His voice of cheer,
And just the time I need Him
He’s always near.

He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives
today!
He walks with me and He talks with me
Along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He live, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives:
He lives within my heart.
