As the next day came, Meshach did not find himself writing another letter to his brothers. But on this day, Meshach found himself receiving a letter from his brothers instead.
Meshach,
Your letters each day have more than intrigued us, that have moved us. With each letter we have watched as a rage that has for years consumed you, has turned to an outpouring of desire and love seen from you. We love you our brother, but only the Lord God could have softened a heart that had become as hard and callous as yours. And if this Jesus you write to us each day about has caused this softening in you, then He could be no less than the Son of Man.
As we write this letter on the fourth day of this week, we look to leave for Jerusalem tomorrow. We will stop and honor both Passover and the Sabbath on the way, but we will be there within a couple of days of the coming week starting. We must meet this Jesus, we must look into the eyes of the One who could be nothing less than the Promised Messiah. We both long to have this relationship with the Lord that you write to us each day about, that you so desire and seek to have. To experience the growing closeness to Him that we hear more and more from you with each letter.
We will see you soon, my brother. Not only to look again on you, but to look upon the One that the prophets all longed to see!
Joshua and Tobias
Although this letter had been written back to Meshach on the day before Jesus went to the Cross, the empty tomb gave promise that Joshua and Tobias could still look upon Jesus as they made their way to Jerusalem. Just as the empty tomb still holds the promise that Christ is standing right there, in front of you, waiting on you to meet Him today. I hope and pray this series has not only given all of you a more personal connection with the events that surrounded Christ that week, but has drawn each of you to desire that same closeness in your relationship with the Lord that Meshach longed for. And I hope and pray that as you are drawn closer, you will be seen reaching out with the same desire as we saw in Meshach. A desire of hope that did not end with the Cross, and was not sealed in that Tomb!
