Title: The Three-Day Journey of the Faithful – From Cross to Rest to Rising
They stayed when almost everyone else ran away.
They watched Him die.
They saw where His body was laid.
Then they went home, prepared spices… and rested.
Not because they had given up.
But because they obeyed.
Luke 23:55-56 (GNT) tells us about the faithful women who followed Jesus from Galilee. They witnessed the cross. They prepared spices for His burial. And on the Sabbath, they rested – just as the Law commanded.
These women teach us three powerful lessons for our own journey:
Good Friday (Sacrifice) – They saw the tomb. They stayed near Jesus even when hope seemed dead. True faithfulness doesn't flee when things get dark.
Sabbath Rest (Obedience) – They rested according to the commandment. Even in deep grief, they trusted God's timing and honored His holy day. Rest is not weakness – it's faith in action.
Easter (Rising) – Their faithful waiting led to the empty tomb. They came to serve a dead body, but found a risen Lord. Hope always rises after rest.
They saw. They prepared. They rested. Then God rose.
This Holy Week, let's walk the same journey:
From cross to rest to rising.
