A lot can happen in three days! I laughed with some friends once as we talked about the fact that one friend was three days older than the other. I said, “a lot can happen in three days.” It helped that we were clergy friends, and everyone caught the reference! This statement, however would not have been helpful to the Disciples as Jesus tells them what would happen in Jerusalem. It is not the news they wanted. It was not what they hoped would happen. They cannot even stand the thought of what would happen to their beloved rabbi who they came to know as the Messiah and friend! Did they even hear the part where he would rise again in three days? Easter is on the way. What will happen between now and then is painful at best. Our Lenten journey continues as we grow ever closer to the cross. We will reflect on being at the cross in a few days. Now, we prepare to enter Jerusalem with the Messiah. Things will change drastically from day to day. This time next week, the Disciples will be in a very different place. But a lot can happen in three days. Just you wait and see!
