What Were They Thinking As They Saw Jesus Crucified?

After Jesus breathes his last breath, Luke tells us:

But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

Luke 23:49

Here’s my question: what where they thinking?

Imagine the despair and disappointment and fear and anger they must have been feeling.

What I KNOW they were not thinking about was resurrection. The scriptures are clear: no one expected resurrection.

They were totally hopeless, and yet hope came for them anyway.

When you cannot possibly understand how this or that situation will ever be anything good, that’s when you know that what God is going to do with it will be SHOCKING and beautiful.

If God can make that Friday Good, he can make anything good.

Don’t lose hope today!

Today’s Scripture:

Luke 23:44-49
