John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but but have eternal life."
Every year on this day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday I think about how Jesus' disciples must have felt after all they had experienced leading up to His death on the cross. This man that they left their lives to follow was now gone, and they were scared and still did not truly understand. They called Him Master, Teacher, and Lord, they listened to Him preach, they saw Him heal the sick and perform miracles, and yet he did not save Himself. They must have felt fear and such unimaginable grief. That day was truly a dark one indeed.
Little did they know the overwhelming joy that would come in the morning.

I imagine their grief and sadness would be similar to what your friend you blogged about just experienced. I'm sure that they all went through different processes of grief and sadness and anger and disbelief. We know what comes next, but they did not. I always think about them grieving their friend who had just experienced insurmountable pain and suffering. I can only begin to imagine how they must have felt.
