If only.. ( Luke 24 v 21 )

All of a sudden He was not there, he was dead,what were they going to do? ,they had so many great  hopes ,the one they believed to be the Messiah,the Christ, the anointed one was gone,it was all over.They must have remembered His words,His actions,how He had  stilled the storm,fed thousands with a few loves and fishes,twice,how he had made the  blind to see,the deaf to hear,cast out demons,walked on water.His teaching now appeared hollow,they wondered and wondered,was this really the end?.  where they deluded? blind,where they fools,to leave all and follow Him?.They remembered His wonderful words,how they promised so much for them and for their nation, He had challenged  those holier than I, Pharisees .He had so often put them in their place,yet it seems that they have won. I suppose now they would  be on their hit list..Its all gone wrong they must have thought,yet they loved Him,being with Him was wonderful, with Him everything seemed possible,  mountains could be removed,difficulties could be overcome,the sky was the limit .Oh Jesus if only you were here, if only you had not died.
