"It's Friday - But Sunday is Coming"
That is the punchline to an old story told by an old black preacher I heard 40 years ago.
Let me remind you of the intentional interconnectedness of Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
Without Friday - Heaven would be a lonely place. Angels yes, but no humans.
Without Friday - Hell forever for everyone
Without Friday - Satan wins in challenging God's love and sovereignty
Without Friday - There is no need for Sunday
But Good Friday came and went and Easter Sunday Came...and He Went up!
With Sunday - God's virtue is vindicated
With Sunday - Jesus is victorious
With Sunday - Satan is vexed and vanquished
With Sunday - I am saved
With Sunday - The creation will be redeemed and restored, and all will be right
That's because it is Friday... But Sunday is Coming!
Serving Him with you
Until He comes for us,
Fred
