On the third day he will rise again." He walked toward Jerusalem with the details already in view. Nothing surprised him at the cross. And notice, the sentence doesn't end at death. The disciples heard everything but that last line. Do you?

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it." Twelve loaves, one for every tribe, sitting in God's…You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it." Twelve loaves, one for every tribe, sitting in God's presence week after week. Same size, same flour. The weak tribe got no smaller loaf than the strong one. Fresh bread every Sabbath, because He never stopped wanting them near. You are counted there too.
Father, so much of you stays hidden from me, wrapped in clouds I can't see through. I admit that unsettles…Father, so much of you stays hidden from me, wrapped in clouds I can't see through. I admit that unsettles me. Teach me to trust what I can't yet see, and to rest in the little I do know of your goodness.
for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience." Paul has just called greed idolatry.…for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience." Paul has just called greed idolatry. God's anger is not a mood swing, it is love refusing to shrug at what is killing you. And read on: "You also once walked in those." He is not pointing at strangers. He remembers where you came from.
Thank You that nothing is hidden from Your sight, that all things are naked and laid open before Your eyes.…Thank You that nothing is hidden from Your sight, that all things are naked and laid open before Your eyes. I am grateful I can stop performing, stop hiding the parts of me no one else sees, and still be welcomed by the One who knows every bit of it.
Afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and…Afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks." Judah thought there was a crack deep enough to hide in. There wasn't. But read the promise just before it: he would bring them back again. Sometimes being found by God feels like being hunted. It is how the way home begins.
