Today you wait.



Luke 23:50-53

Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God. Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid.

Born to a family in Israel. He was known as the son of the carpenter.

But he was also God's son.

He lived like us... but without sin.

Completely blameless, he died in your place.

Lifeless. Buried. Now we wait.

For Jesus promised that the grave could not hold him.

But today, we wait.

What does Jesus' burial teach you about the deep humility of your Savior?

I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.

John 4:13–14 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Read the context You know the feeling... you worked for it, earned it, achieved it. And it still left you empty. Success, approval, comfort fill you up just long enough to make you thirsty again. Jesus doesn't tell you to dig deeper or try harder. Chasing...

Psalm 95:6–7 Come, let us bow down in worship,let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;for he is our God —and we are the people of his pasture,the flock under his care.

Worship is so much more than some songs and words — it's the place we hear from our God. Come... let's hear what he has to say. When did...
