Holy Saturday … day between days, Sabbath

Morning: Psalm 88; Job 19:21-27a; Hebrews 4:1-16
Evening: Psalm 27; Romans 8:1-11
The Book of Job is a great human story of faith in God.  It declares God’s power over the power of death. Job, after terrible torment, proclaims, “I know that my Redeemer lives, and … in my flesh I shall see God.” This is a day between days, the Sabbath between Jesus’ death and resurrection.  It invites us always to seek rest and there to wait on God, trusting that there we will find life-giving grace and mercy.  Sabbath is time to allow God to be God and quit trying to do God’s work all by ourselves!
