After the quick burial of Jesus, His followers took the Sabbath Day
off. and rested as the law required. It is hard for us as Christians to
come to terms with the concept that Jesus was a Jew, not only by birth,
but by faith. He kept all the Jewish laws, including the Sabbath.
This post card is of the city of Nazareth, the city where Jesus grew up and
was obedient to His parents and His Jewish faith.
A DAY OF REST
The Sabbath, by law,
Was a day of rest.
Jesus followers sadly waited,
To finish with their quest.
They wanted only to attend Him
And rest was hard to bear,
For their Savior was in a tomb
And they wanted to be there.
They anxiously waited,
Until the Sunday's dawn,
To fulfill their duty,
To the tomb they were drawn.
They prepared all their spices.
As they each said a prayer,
They asked God to guide them,
For their Leader was no longer there!
