Garden City Church

Faithful Presence


Listen Later

When Jesus is crucified there is a group of women who position themselves near the Cross and bear witness to Jesus's agonizing death while all the other disciples are in hiding. These women show up at Jesus's tomb, ready to tend to His body, only to become the first witnesses to the resurrection and the first to proclaim the good news to the rest of Jesus's disciples. These faithful women who were almost certainly part of the larger group of disciples who followed Jesus, learned His teachings, and participated in His ministry demonstrate how we can, in the midst of hardship, suffering, and doubt serve as a faithful witness. In liturgical church traditions, Holy Saturday is the day in between Jesus's death and His resurrection. It's a day when no one knows what will happen. Has all hope been lost? Might Jesus somehow come back to life? It's in these in-between, Holy Saturday places where we can show up for one another, see and listen each other, and serve as a faithful presence of God's goodness and faithfulness.
