The In-Between Time
So it's Saturday. Yesterday was Good Friday, the day Jesus was crucified. Tomorrow is Sunday - the day He rose from the dead. But what is today? It is the in-between time. That time between when the worst we could imagine has happened and God's answer. Have you ever noticed how much of life is spent "in-between?" Sometimes it is in-between the bad and God's answer. Sometimes it is in-between the promise and the fulfillment. There are so many times in life where we are just waiting in-between. Now, I do not fault the disciples for their seeming inability to understand Jesus' words predicting his death and resurrection. When God tells us something completely outside of our frame of reference, we struggle with it. But today we all live after the greatest miracle in the history of humanity - the resurrection. I still may not understand how God is going to take what is happening in my life and use it for my good and His glory, but if He could raise Jesus from the dead, I can at least believe that it is true. So, as we live "in-between," let's trust the God is still working things out for us. Don't give up, even when the worst has happened. God's power is waiting to be seen!

The "Inbetween Time" has passed. As I write, it is a glorious, sunny, warm early Easter afternoon. Birds are out, flowers are blooming, plants are budding. Our faith is renewed after the horror (although necessary) of Good Friday. So, from all of us at St John's Episcopal Church in western North Carolina to all of you in the Assemblies of God churches in what will always be home to Linda and I - Alleluia! He is Risen!
