In one of the most sacred and pivotal moments in history, it was the women who came. They had followed Jesus. They had ministered to Him. They had stayed when others fled. They stood near the cross, watching, grieving, risking their own safety simply to remain near Him. Their devotion did not diminish when things became costly or unclear.

As followers of Christ, we’re called to bear fruit, to live lives that produce evidence of God’s work in us and through us. The fruit of our lives should point others back to Him.

There are a lot of voices telling us what is true. What to believe. What to expect. What matters most. Scripture brings us back to something unchanging: God’s Word is trustworthy and true.

God is always at work. He’s making a way where there seems to be no way, creating streams in dry and desolate places. But if we are constantly looking back, we miss what He’s doing right in front of us.
