This week, my devotion time with God is in the book of Zephaniah. One passage jumped out at me, Zephaniah 3:17. In times of distress and uncertainty, this verse spoke peace, love, and strength over me.
There was joy and anticipation in the days following Jesus's death and resurrection. He appeared to them and continued His teachings. He told them to wait in Jerusalem. This core group of women and men who had followed Jesus waited for His promised Helper. They readied to join the procession to the Temple for the Pentecost celebration.
He is risen! They went to find Him in the first light of Easter morning. He was not there! Their pain, sadness, and emptiness changed with this proclamation. He has risen; He is not here!
