That Sabbath

We know from the Scriptures that on the day following the crucifixion, Jewish leaders demanded of Pilate that he provide guards for Jesus’ tomb. However, no other significant events during that day are mentioned. It is easy to imagine that something transpired. Did the disciples gather together to mourn? Possibly. Many friends had followed Jesus to Jerusalem; did they just turn on their heels and return to their homes? Probably not. Assuming that some mourners wanted to get together, where might that have been? Had we been there to join an assembly of followers, relatives, friends, and perhaps even “outsiders,” could we have possibly witnessed the first Christian church service? Read and enjoy!
