On Resurrection Sunday a number of the women who had traveled from Galilee with Jesus to minister to His needs had arranged to go to the tomb where He was buried to further attend to His dead body that was hastily interred Thursday evening by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus as the sabbath rest required…
After three days of rest imposed upon them by the confluence of three consecutive sabbaths, during which there was nothing they could do to address the death of their Lord, on Sunday morning a number of women who had followed Jesus from Galilee made their way to the tomb. They came to complete the care…
On account of a supernatural confluence of natural events that resulted in three consecutive sabbaths on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for Jesus’ followers, all they could do on the day He was crucified and the days following while He lay in the grave was to rest and wait to see the great salvation God was…

All of the religion of the religious leaders who put Jesus to death was of the flesh and political, and not real and of the heart. They had imagined that they would be able to deal with any repercussions politically as they had always done before.
