A public holiday on a Monday is just
bliss. That one extra day to sleep in. One extra day to pamper
yourself or just to spend some time in the sun and in my case, some
time doing gardening. For others spending the day with loved ones,
maybe over a braai was the best way to go.
Easter Saturday must have felt like the
end of the world for Jesus disciples, but then He rose again on
Sunday and their shot at a few extra days turned out to be 40 days.
Can you imagine the bustle? They must have wanted to draw out ever
last inch of information, encouragement and leadership from Jesus
before He departed from our planet and returned to heaven.
The knowledge, life and faith that
Jesus imparted to His disciples turned religion as they knew it
upside down, or as we prefer to say, right side up. Through His
sacrifice Jesus imparted a strength of faith that would carry each
one of them until their own death as a Christian Martyrs.
If you could have 40 days personally to
walk with Jesus, talk to Jesus and seek your own encouragement what
would you talk about? Thankfully as Christians today we do have that
opportunity. With the help of the Holy Spirit we can talk to Jesus
everyday but not seeing Him physically presents us with a challenging
question.
Do you really believe?
