How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭52‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Unpacking this verse reveals its prophetic nature just in time for Easter.

Good news, peace, and good tidings of salvation.

All this on a Saturday while Jesus is entombed makes me wonder what unfolded behind that stone door. What private proceedings transpired?

What do you imagine? A father and son dialogue? Be a fly on the wall inside and tell us what you think.

Here’s my take:

Here’s my take:

Hey, wake up.

–Hi, I can’t sleep.

So let’s talk about tomorrow.

–Can’t you see I’m a little wrapped up right now?

I can’t see a thing, it’s pitch black in here.

–Well get your glow on, Dad. Do that ‘On The First Day’ thing again.

That’s better. O.M.Me! What in heaven’s name have they done to you!?

–Yeah, it wasn’t pretty.

Oh mercy, you need a shower. Let’s get you back to normal.

–Dad, here on out, things aren’t gonna be very normal anymore.

Oh yeah, tomorrow’s Our big day.

–Yeah, everyone’s.

Here’s a new outfit. Mary will be here sooner than We think.

–Right, then all hell breaks loose, and you-know-who’s gonna be mad for all eternity.

Yeah, We fixed that. He’s toast. Literally.

–Okay, I’m up. Let’s get busy.

Aren’t you eggcited about tomorrow?!

–That’s one horrible Dad joke.
