      Day 40             Read: Isaiah 40:31

         “And they returned, and prepared spices and oint-
          ments; and they rested the Sabbath day according
          to the commandment.”

              From Friday night to Sunday morning
              they waited.

                    They thought they were waiting to
                    finish anointing the corpse.

                    But they were actually waiting for
                    something else:

                    ....for the promise which they had
                       heard but never understood.
                      “And the third day he shall
                       rise again.”

         They rested.

         The body of the Lord rested while His Spirit
         preached to the imprisoned spirits in the region
         of the dead.

         And now we must learn how to rest and wait with
         our hearts patiently fixed upon God

              until we are visited by the Spirit of
              the Father which quickened the Lord’s
              body in the tomb

              and the Spirit of the Son who quickened
              the disciples to eternal faith by
              showing Himself alive to them again.

         I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait
         And in His word do I hope.
         My soul waiteth for the Lord
         More than they that watch for the morning, I say,
         More than they that watch for the morning.
