Take a Moment Prayer : Week of Mar 23

Holy Savior, with each step I make through this Lenten season, I am reminded of your journey to the cross. It brings feelings of sadness and shame because I know your death on the cross was the price paid for all of humanity’s sin…which, of course, includes me. I admit that I feel impatient. I want this season to pass quickly and get on to the Easter celebration. Yet…I know I must wait…and in the waiting, I will seek you with a hunger to draw closer to you. As I wait, I will listen to you as you speak to my heart; and I will seek to be obedient to what you want me to do. Send your Spirit to nudge me on so that in my waiting I will be very active. The waiting will definitely be worthwhile. Easter is coming! Hallelujah! The celebration will be great! Amen.

“But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they  had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in  they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.” (Luke 24:1-3)

After Jesus suffered horrific torture and death by hanging on a cross, his body was   taken down and put in a cold dark tomb. A huge stone was rolled in front of it, and Pilate  commanded Roman guards to stand by the tomb so no one would steal Jesus’ body.
