Over the past week, I took the opportunity to read the four Gospel accounts of the events of Holy Week. It was a reminder of my seminary days, when we studied theories on who each of the gospels were originally written for. It was fun to see what was included in each gospel and what was different.
I was impressed by one of the strongest similarities in all four Gospels. Nothing happened on the Sabbath. The events of Good Friday found Joseph of Arimathea scrambling to beat darkness to get Jesus' body wrapped and placed in the tomb. But it wasn't until the day after Sabbath that Jesus' followers did anything else. Why? Because they were devout Jews, and they followed the Law, which said that nothing was to happen on the Sabbath. Christianity was indeed "First for the Jew".
