Savannah Guthrie shared a painful Easter message as her mom, Nancy Guthrie, remains missing.
The “Today” anchor appeared in a video for Good Shepherd New York’s digital Easter gathering Sunday. Savannah talked about the importance of Easter and the happiness it brings in the Christian faith, before acknowledging she was currently having a hard time.
“We celebrate today the promise of a new life that never ends in death. But, standing here today, I have to tell you, there are moments in which that promise seems irretrievably far away,” she said. “When life itself seems far harder than death.”
“These moments of deep disappointment with God, the feeling of utter abandonment,” she continued. “For most of us, there will come a time in our life when these feelings hold sway.”
Savannah went on to note that according to her faith, she’s taught to take comfort in the fact that Jesus also experienced pain. But again, she noted she’s currently questioning feelings.
“Recently though, in my own season of trial, I have wondered,” she said. “I have questioned whether Jesus really ever experienced this particular wound that I feel — this grievous and uniquely cruel injury of not knowing, of uncertainty and confusion and answers withheld.”
“In those darkest moments, I have thought bitterly and perhaps irreverently, that I have stumbled upon a feeling that Jesus did not know.”
She noted that “it isn’t wrong to think such thoughts, to challenge our God with questions.” Savannah said she wanted to fully acknowledge her feelings of loss and pain.
“It is the darkness that makes this morning’s light so magnificent, so blindingly beautiful. It is all the brighter because it is so desperately needed,” she explained.
“So I close my eyes this morning and I feel the sunshine,” she added. “I see a bright vision of the day when heaven and earth pass away because they are one on earth as it is in heaven.”
“When we celebrate today, this is what we celebrate — and I celebrate too. I still believe. And so, I say with conviction, Happy Easter.”
Savannah’s “Today” family has rallied around her as she remains at her sister Annie’s home in Tucson, Arizona, while they desperately search for any clues of their mother’s whereabouts.
Nancy, 84, has been missing since Feb. 1.
Savannah shared chilling new details about her mom’s disappearance in a “Today” show interview that aired last month.
“The doors were propped open, there was blood on the front doorstep and the Ring camera had been yanked off,” she told Hoda Kotb of the state of Nancy’s home. “So we were saying, ‘This is not OK.’
