Luke 23:55, 56  As his body was taken away, the women from Galilee followed and saw the tomb where his body was placed. Then they went home and prepared spices and ointments to anoint his body. But by the time they were finished the Sabbath had begun, so they rested as required by the law. (NLT)

Jesus’ invitation in those early days was simple and plain. “Follow me,” he said. 

At one point, multiplied thousands gathered to hear him speak, to see him heal, to eat miracle bread. 

Here at the end, all who were left were the women from Galilee.

That hill appeared God-forsaken. 

The cemetery was silent.

The women laid their work aside as daylight withered away.

It was night. 

There was evening, and there was a morning. 

There in silent stillness lay
The One who created night and day
There in a tomb unfinished
Rested His body diminished

Bread and wine
Timbers and nails
Laughter and scorn
Sobbing and wails

Night lasts forever
Day drags to its end 
Will anything ever
Be good again?

I will ponder all that was lost.

Our Father, it didn’t have to be this way. When invited, you did not go away. When forsaken, you did not forsake us. When only those who followed from afar remained, you sought us still and promised a brand new day. Amen.

Daily D – Numbers 16:1-3

Numbers 16:1-3 One day Korah son of Izhar, a descendant of Kohath son of Levi, conspired with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, from the tribe of Reuben. They incited a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 other leaders of the community, all prominent members of the assembly. They united against Moses and Aaron and said, “You have gone too far! The whole community of Israel has been set apart by the Lord, and he is with all of us. What right do you have to act as though you are greater than the rest of the Lord’s people?”

Daily D – Numbers 9:17-18

Numbers 9:17, 18 Whenever the cloud lifted from over the sacred tent, the people of Israel would break camp and follow it. And wherever the cloud settled, the people of Israel would set up camp. In this way, they traveled and camped at the Lord’s command wherever he told them to go. Then they remained in their camp as long as the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle.
