Day 39 - Easter Saturday: The Space in Between

Hebrews 12:1 - 12:3

12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

It’s only one day. But what if today was a picture of how we live our life in the in-between? When we can’t see the answer. When it doesn’t make sense. When we don’t have the breakthrough. When we are waiting for the fulfilment of His promises.

There is a purpose in waiting.

This one day between the crucifixion and the resurrection was puzzling to the Disciples. But we can now look back and see the anticipation of what was coming on the next day!

We need to do the same now. Fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. Trust that He is working to bring about the power of His resurrection in our lives.

What is an area of your life that you need to wait well in today?
