When It Was Yet Dark (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997873757)

When It Was Yet Dark God's grace meets us mysteriously in the most difficult of circumstances. Most central to this study are the passages toward the end of the four gospels. These deal with the events - and people -- surrounding the crucifixion, and particularly those afterward, leading up to the resurrection . There the faith of Christ's frightened followers seems most remarkable. Why did the women remain faithful even at the cross? Why did Joseph of Arimathea identify himself with this executed radical by asking the Romans for his body to bury? Why did the disciples gather in the upper room in Jerusalem instead of fleeing to the four winds? The proposition of the book becomes that the same mysterious grace is available to those who follow Christ now - in their darkest hours, as well as in the happy ones. Even though our circumstances are such that we see no rays of dawn - no light at the end of the tunnel - the Spirit of Christ meets us when it is yet dark.
