Easter Saturday is when we remember Christ in the Garden Tomb. Yesterday, He died on the Cross. Tomorrow, He will rise, glorified in a Resurrection Body. This Saturday is the time between His death and Resurrection. In this mini-series, we are looking at the Easter Story through the lens of Moses and the Children of Israel leaving Egypt. On Good Friday, I wrote on how Christ dying on the Cross was like the Passover Lamb. Today, we are comparing Easter Saturday (The Harrowing of Hell) to the journey through the waters of the Red Sea.
