This Day!

What day do you consider to be the most important in your life: Your birthday, your wedding day, the day and/or days your children were born? It seems that almost everyone has a particular day that means the most to them.

This day, the first day of the week, is an important day to a child of God, because it was on the first day of the week at early dawn, that the women who had come with him out of Galilee, who had beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid, “came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel: and as they were affrighted and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again” (Luke 24:1-7). What a great day that was, not only for those who witnessed this great event, but for all who believe!

This day, as the apostle John recorded, “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day” (Revelation 1:10), marks a day that has been observed and held as important to all those who have loved his appearing. It was “upon the first day of the week” (Acts 20:7), when the saints “were gathered together to break bread.”

This day declares “the gospel of God, which he promised afore through his prophets in the holy scripture, concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; even Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 1:1-4).
