On this day the Church does little – she is in mourning for the Lord of life, who brought healing to the sick woman, the paralysed man the crippled and the blind.

We wait and we wonder at the enormity of it all – it is beyond comprehension. Then we remember the story of the Exodus, that fundamental event in the life of God’s people, and we wonder. We wonder.

In the Western tradition Exodus 14:10-31; 15:20-21 is read this day. It is the story of the flight of the Israelites from Egypt, with the Egyptians closing in on them. The fleeing people wonder is this it? Is this where they are to be destroyed with nothing for them, no future, no hope at the hands of this merciless army? And then deliverance happens: they cross the sea and then the seas close in over and utterly destroying the ruthless Egyptian army.
​
Maybe, today in the quietness of what some traditions call Holy Saturday, we like those ancient Israelites can ponder the question, will God deliver us from evil?

Hi Tom,
Your daily messages are excellent and a great comfort in these very difficult and isolating times. I send Easter good wishes to you and your family, to all fellow Christians - and indeed to all mankind at this time of year when we particularly remember the hope that the Easter message brings!
Jim
