We are two of Our Heavenly Father’s vessels. We also obey Our Heavenly Father in what he wants us to do, we have a very good and deep walk with him. We would like you to have that as well. Saturday April 4, 2026. A deep study of Saturday during Holy Week

Jesus rested from his work of salvation, signaling that the sacrifice was “finished”.
Tradition dictates that during this time, Jesus descended to the realm of the dead to free the righteous awaiting redemption, such as Adam and Eve.

Closing Prayer: Heavenly Father, on this day of quiet, we remember that Jesus rested in the grave, finishing His work. Just as a seed dies to bring forth new life, we trust in Your promise that death is not the end. Teach us to take refuge in You, and in the silence of this day, strengthen our faith as we await the hope of the resurrection, making all things new, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
