While It Was Still Dark...
April 20, 2025
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb.
–John 20:1
While it’s still dark…Christ is risen!
While it’s still dark…things are not what they seem.
While it’s still dark…angels are at work.
While it’s still dark…evil is being overthrown.
While it’s still dark…believe in the triumph of the Light.
Because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
–1 John 2:2
Be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
–2 Peter 1:19
While it’s still dark…Jesus descends into hell to set the captives free.

No one can enter a strongman’s house and plunder his property, unless he first binds the strongman. Then indeed he will plunder his house.
–Jesus (Mark 3:27)
While it’s still dark…Christ is risen!
