CHRIST IS RISEN! REJOICE! GLORIFY THE KING! ALLELUIA!

Today (Holy Saturday) I felt as if someone had rolled a large stone and locked me in the tomb as well. The world seemed a hateful place. It is in so many ways. Friends betray you as Judas did Christ. Friends spit on you sometimes, or argue with you about nothing, or worse yet, ignore you for no reason.
I have been very disappointed.
But Christ rose so as to show us we will rise with Him one day too. Put aside all the unnecessary grievances and pouting; put aside all the fasting and crying; put aside all the wars and disagreements; forget petty irritations and attacks against your silly pride. This is the happiest day of the year--the day that gives meaning to our every moment. This is the day that made all the other days possible. This is the day the LORD has made, let us rejoice and be glad!
