Hopelessness

Easter Saturday is a funny day, because nothing really happens. There is no event to remember, no services (usually) and not that big a difference from any normal Saturday. However, today I was left wondering about the Hopelessness of this day, all the other days seem to have hope. Easter week, Jesus was still with His disciples, Good Friday, hope that death would be avoided and even if it got to the cross, hope that if He really was the son of God then He will save Himself. Easter Sunday, full of hope, but today, there was no hope, He was dead, there was nothing anyone could do. He was gone...
Maybe the normality is intentional, life goes on, death had happened, back to how things used to be...
Good Friday is a sad day, but maybe the barrenness of Saturday is as dark and as emotional.
Maybe today is Hopeless Saturday.
