When we feel silenced spiritually, cut off from the song of the saints and confused about why church hurts so much, our wordlessness, doubts, and darkness are treated like a lack of resurrection faith. But before Christ was raised, he was cold and silent in a grave for a whole day. The Word who spoke the world into being went to the wordless place of death. He sank into silence. Courage doesn’t begin on the bright day the Spirit raised Christ from the grave. Courage is in the shadows of Saturday, where the Word became wordless for your sake.
