A Day in Hell

I've never seen anything "good" about Good Friday, a day when the Roman Empire did it's darkest deed, and executed my Prince of Peace. 

And I suppose Easter is regarded as the day of true celebration, for on the third day He came alive, brandishing Hope, the deadliest of all weapons.
Yet, I find this day, this Saturday of in-between, perhaps the most moving to my soul.
For yesterday, My Jesus bled out, and tomorrow His heart will begin to pump and flow once more, His veins coursing with the glory of the Father.
But today, today my Jesus, without His mortal body, spent one whole day, an entirety of twenty-four hours in a place designed to bring about the most hurt, pain and sorrow a soul can ever experience.
And today, my Jesus stayed there, for an entire day.
After the torture began He didn't laugh in the demons' faces and break out of His fiery bonds. When the pain became too great, He did not call down His angels to rescue Him.
Many people claim that their lives are a "living Hell right now" and perhaps hey feel they are at their limit.
And I can respect those struggles, I have felt them myself, and they never truly go away, each struggle is vanquished and another trial will come-but you can make it.
Anyways, your life may be a "living Hell" right now, and you may feel you do not have the courage to stand over your troubles, to crush them under your feet.
But Jesus stayed in the fiery depths for a full twenty-four hours; not to please the prophets, but to keep His promise.
That He would conquer death.
And that you would be offered a life in the Light.
This is His promise,and this day, His day of living in Hell-may perhaps be the most precious of all.
For He not only cleared us of these punishments, but experienced them, for me, for you.
And such a deed is not easily done.
This is His promise.
And this can be your hope.
