Who knows exactly what the disciples remembered or thought on today all those years ago. <br />I know how often I feel like this. And then "the next day" I see Him in all His glory.<br />Thank you!

I can relate to this on so may levels; I am actually going thru the same thing in some areas of my life and this just really spoke to me. He lives and we will all live to see hope, dreams, grace, and love ressurected on that third day.

Thanks for the thoughts. Obviously, we don...Hi Amy!<br />Thanks for the thoughts. Obviously, we don't know. Our speculations of what that day might have been like are just that, and what you suggest is very possibly true. As I read you comment I thought of John 2:18-22 which says:<br /><br />18 So the Jews said to him, "What sign do you show us for doing these things?" 19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." 20 The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?" 21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.<br />ESV<br /><br />This would seem to say the remembrance of His words came after the resurrection. John 12:16 might indicate the same thing: 16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him.<br />ESV<br /><br />Again, we don't really know. Thanks so much for reading, commenting, and most of all for your friendship to our family and your love for God. Happy Easter!!! We love and miss ya!Erick Reinstedthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687593837022660081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529365993866431111.post-22461077470643112292011-04-23T10:30:08.526-07:002011-04-23T10:30:08.526-07:00This is very, very good, Erick.
But ...
Perhaps ...This is very, very good, Erick.<br /><br />But ...<br /><br />Perhaps I think this way because I already know what happened "tomorrow."<br /><br />But ... mightn't the thought have surfaced from time to time as the ruminations flowed throughout this darkest day ... mightn't some have remembered: "He said this would happen ... and that on the third day he would be raised again. Remember? On the way to Jerusalem, He said so to us twelve! ... He was so good, and that love I felt was so real. He taught us about the Kingdom of God with such authority! He couldn't have been a liar! He said, "on the third day." I will cling to that hope ... I will wait to see what happens on the third day."Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268849975538109522noreply@blogger.com
