| In due time He arose. |
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” 20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken. (John 2:19-22; NIV 2011 Edition)
Isn't it interesting that one of the Holiest weekends in the Christian faith circles around the principles of love, faith, silence and waiting in expectation? Jesus's love for us didn't come through a process of fast-forwarding nor did it come without sacrificial pain. Everything had to occur in real-time so that the promise could be fulfilled but we knew that we could expect His promise to come true. No cutting corners here. In silence He suffered, in silence He rested, in silence He rose.
Sometimes God does His best work when we wait on Him with faith in silence.
...just something to think about as we celebrate Resurrection Weekend and the fulfillment of God's promise to mankind.
