Holy Saturday….Black Saturday…. On our journey with Jesus we come to Saturday, which very well would have been the most hopeless day for those who loved and followed Jesus. Yes, Good Friday was bad, but I believe deep down Jesus followers believed He would somehow take Himself off the cross. Their hope is now shattered.
