Holy saturday

Holy Saturday - the darkest of nights. Our Creator lay lifeless in a tomb, enduring the night we fear most: death. But that night would be the last time the fear of death could imprison us. As Lent comes to a close, Jesus, may we know and believe that you are truly Immanuel, God with us. You took on our suffering, our loneliness, our darkness, our death. Tomorrow we celebrate the resurrection - your victory over the night of death - which ushers in a kingdom where there is no night, only your light shining forever and ever. We await the certain morning, the enduring joy of salvation, and the dawning of that new kingdom.
