The moment when everything went dark.

If at this moment it seems that God is absent, let us remember that he has risen; this reminds us that victory and joy are near.

31 The Jews then, because it was Preparation Day, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath day[a] (for that Sabbath[b] was a high day), begged Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man, and likewise of the other who had been crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 And he who saw it bears witness, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he speaks the truth, so that you also may believe. 36 For these things took place so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: Not one of his bones will be broken. 37 And again, another Scripture says, “They will look on Him whom they pierced.”
38 After all this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, begged Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body; and Pilate granted him permission. So he came and took Jesus’ body. 39 Nicodemus, who had previously visited Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 40 So they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it in linen cloths with spices, according to the Jewish burial custom. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So they laid Jesus there because of the preparation for the Passover, and because the tomb was close at hand.

John 19:31-42

Just as Jesus Christ was resting in absolute peace in the stern of the boat when a great storm arose, so his lifeless body was laid in the tomb while the great storm was raging in the hearts of his disciples and others. A day after his death, and before his disciples could understand it, their minds were surely filled with fear, pain, and above all, much doubt. I'm sure they've also brought back memories of the times they'd shared with Jesus, their experiences with him, like when he stood up and brought order to the raging sea, like that moment when he miraculously fed thousands of people with very little, or that moment when a demon-possessed man appeared and was instantly freed, and even more extreme, seeing a resurrected dead man walking out of his tomb, as in the case of Lazarus.

We're surprised by the weak faith of the disciples, and this because we already know, but we're no different from them. Those men of little faith, just as Jesus called them on some occasions, didn't remember what Jesus had said about himself, especially that he would give his life as a sacrifice but would return with power.

Let your conduct be free from covetousness, and be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.'

Hebrews 13:5

There are times in our lives when God may seem absent, but even if it seems that way, we must have the complete certainty and assurance that He will never leave us. When we are tempted to think this way or when we come up with our own solutions, we need to remember the absolute power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We must be willing to wait through this valley of the shadow of death, through the darkness of the night, and rest in complete certainty that the morning will come and the sun will rise with complete certainty. Our Lord Jesus Christ has left us written words for our security and faith.
