Reflect on the devotional, and answer the questions to dive in deeper!

• Devotional: On Silent Saturday, the world seems to hold its breath. The tomb is sealed, and Jesus lies in death, the Savior who bore the weight of all our sin. The streets of Jerusalem are quiet, the disciples are confused and fearful, and grief hangs heavy in the air. It is a day of waiting, of questions, and of longing—yet it is also a day of hope hidden beneath the stillness. God’s work is not finished; even in the silence, His plan is moving toward victory. The end of Lent invites us to wait with expectant faith, trusting that despair does not have the final word. The darkness of today points us toward the glory of tomorrow, when Christ will rise, conquering sin and death. It is the most silent day in history—but Sunday is coming, and with it, the light of life, the victory of our risen Lord, and the hope that transforms everything!
