Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done.
Do you ever wonder what the day after that first Easter was like in heaven? I know I do. I mean, after six days of creating things way back in the beginning of time, God was wiped. God needed a break. And so, God rested on the seventh day from all the work that God had done.
I don't mean to say that creation isn't difficult, but imagine how God would have felt after the emotional trauma of the first Holy Week. After watching Jesus cry in the garden, watching him be betrayed, arrested, condemned and killed. And then God steps in with one final "Not so fast." Then God steps in to say this isn't the end of the story. How much energy do you think it takes to raise someone from the dead?
Thankfully, I'll never know the answer to that question. It's not my job to raise people from the dead. God's already got that taken care of. So if God needed a break, then God took a break I'm sure. And while that's happening, we here on Earth are left to sing and shout our Alleluias!
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
