Saturday Nothing: The Words I Wrote While Waiting On Jesus

Saturday Nothing: The Words I Wrote While Waiting On Jesus by Martin, Josh. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780988281691.

Jesus the Christ died on Friday, rose on Sunday, and left the world to wonder on a Saturday filled with nothing. All of us live in this mysterious place of in-between--an already, but not yet. The first century believers lived there too. But only for a day. Jesus was killed on Friday, Saturday nothing, but Sunday, bewildering Sunday, the tomb was empty, the promise come. For the twenty-first century believer, the story is much the same. We live in the day between--the nothing day. Our lives unfold somewhere between the blessed resurrection and promised second coming. The trouble of our Saturday is it lasts longer than a day. Our waiting, trusting, and nothing could very well last a lifetime. We inhale, but do not breathe deeply. We hear, but do not understand. We see, but it is through stained glass. We hope of Sunday, but live in Saturday nothing.
