Lenten Devotion Day 34
RISE
"The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him,
and three days after being killed, he will rise again."
Mark 9:31
A storm rises. Thunder echoes through the mountain valleys. Rain begins to fall. Mountains disappear behind a wall of fog. They will appear again...but not yet. Rain will nourish the ground and flowers will sprout from it. Life will rise from the storm...but not yet.
As we rapidly approach Holy Week we remember the rise of an approaching storm. Thunderous words of betrayal, denial, and judgment echoed in the streets. Tears fell. Jesus....betrayed...arrested...beaten...condemned. His body disappears behind a wall of stone. He will appear again...but not yet. His death will plant seeds of doubt and we wait to see what those seeds will grow. But we know...life will rise from behind that stone.
We know...
Easter is coming
RISE
and see
Jesus lives!
