It's Friday, but Sunday is Coming!

From noon to three, the sun is obscured and the whole earth is under a veil of darkness. It's Friday, and God’s Son, the Savior of the world hangs on a cross, dying for the sins of the world. His followers are dismayed. He told them what was to come, but they couldn’t fathom it.

The time of Jesus’ death is near. In His last words He cries out, “Father, into your hands I commit My spirit.” Although His enemies tried to kill Him, who can kill God? In the end, of His own will, Jesus gives up His life as a sacrifice for our sins.

They take Him down from the cross and place His body in the tomb of a rich man. A large stone is placed over the opening. Soldiers are stationed to guard the entrance. It’s a sad time for Jesus’ followers. They grieve His death, but more than anything, they can't comprehend what has happened.

What they don’t understand is that Sunday is coming and with it, a new hope will go forth over all the earth!
