We Join in Their Disappointment


Today we remember when Jesus' cold body lay in a tomb. His followers faced confusion, disappointment, shame and threats on their lives. They believed God would deliver them and their people from oppression, that he would finally bring his rule of peace, but that hope was dead. Why had God allowed them to be duped? Was he ever going to make things right?



At church we joined with the disciples. We acknowledged our own disappointments with God, our unfulfilled hopes and expectations, by writing them on small pieces of paper and placing them in this jar.
