“What has happened to our ability to dwell in the unknowing, to live inside a question and coexist with the tensions of uncertainty?

“The death, and the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus happened over three days. Friday was the day of suffering and pain and agony. Saturday was the day of doubt and confusion and misery. But Easter, that Sunday, was the day of hope and joy and victory. You will face these three days over and over and over in your lifetime. And when you do, you’ll find yourself asking, as I did, three fundamental questions: Number one, what do I do in my days of pain? Two, how do I get through my days of doubt and confusion? Three, how do I get to the days of joy and victory? The answer is Easter.” TwoPainFacesJoySufferingThreeJesusAnswersNumbersDoubtHappenedVictoryAskingFundamentalsMiseryLifetimeConfusionSundayFinding YourselfResurrectionAgonySaturdayEasterFridayBurialJesus ResurrectionSuffering And Pain Author:Rick Warren
