Day 3 - April 10

This was a dark night for the disciples 2000 years ago. This night they thought their hope was gone and their dreams dashed. Peter had denied, Judas had betrayed, and the rest ran in fear. Not only was this the night they lost their Lord and King, it was a night where they were filled with shame and guilt to go along with their immense sorrow. Have you been there? That dark night where you thought your hope was gone. Or that moment you fell again.

Fast forward to Sunday. Fast forward to Christ walking with the disciples on the road to Emmaus. The darkness they felt was lifted. Christ light of the world appeared, forgave, encouraged and became not only their King but their Saviour. Take heart if you are in this dark place or if guilt and shame seem to be chasing you. Remember if you believe in Christ you have the light of the world, you have forgiveness and freedom from guilt. The darkness will lift and your Sunday will come.
