easter.

Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there.
- Clarence W. Hall

My friend Nick has written a series of emails about the days leading up to Easter, and he's posted copies to his blog. My favorite is the thought for today (Saturday).

It's like that long Saturday between Your death and the rising day
When no one heard a word, wondered is this the end
But You were down there in the well, saving those that fell
Bringing them to the mountain again
- Valleys Fill First, Caedmon's Call

It blows my mind to think that in the midst of all the grief and desolation that Jesus' followers were feeling, in the midst of His pain in being separated from His Father, Jesus was doing the work that paved the way for our salvation.
