Symphony Of Hope

Saturday was horrible/after a sleepless Thursday night of groping after the arrest of Christ / a horrifying vigil through Friday's deathly agony... / Saturday lasted forever / doubt, fear, anger, sorrow made one heavy cloud over the eleven who remained / yes, Saturday was horrible for:
- Peter, the thrice convicted failure
- Thomas, the inveterate doubter
- James and John with dashed hopes of grandeur and thrones
- Andrew, the brother of Peter, the failure, loss of second leader
- Matthew's lost government career seemingly in vain
- Nathaniel's good man from Nazareth now dead
- Phillip's fulfillment of Moses and prophets fizzled
- The other three doubtlessly crushed with sorrow

But God had other plans. He always does.
