=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================
There's More to Come, by Steve Higginbotham
In the year 1815, Napoleon gathered his French forces at Waterloo to
battle against the Duke of Wellington. Of course, history informs us
that Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo, but how did the people living
in 1815 learn of the news?
To carry the news of the Battle of Waterloo to England, an English ship
signaled to a man on shore, who then relayed the word to a man on
another hill, and so on across England. The first word that was
signaled was "Wellington." The next word that was signaled was
"defeated." Then a fog rolled in, and the message stopped.
Friday contained only a portion of the message.
As you can image, all across England people wept and were disheartened
by the two word message, "Wellington defeated." But when the fog
lifted, the message continued with two additional words, "the enemy."
Hope arose out of despair!
Now here's my point. What do you think the world and even the disciples
of Jesus thought when the saw the events that transpired on the Friday
of the crucifixion? But, Friday contained only a portion of the
message. The rest of the message was shared on Sunday through an empty
tomb. Hope arose out of despair!
[Jesus] said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered over
to human hands. He will be killed, and after three days he will
rise." But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to
ask him about it (Mark 9:31-32 TNIV).
