The Lord’s Day
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day” (Revelation 1:10).
The Lord’s day, referred to in this verse, is the same day of the week the Lord rose from the dead. “Jesus was risen early the first day of the week” (Mark 16:9). It is also the day when He appeared to His disciples with a message of assurance and peace. “The first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you” (John 20:19). It was on this day that the Lord ascended back to heaven, and this day when the early believers in the city of Troas met for breaking of bread, fellowship and to hear the preaching of the Apostle Paul who was visiting at that time. “Upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them” (Acts 20:7).
What does the “Lord’s Day” mean to you? John saw and heard wonderful things concerning the person of Christ because he was in tune with the Spirit of God on the first day of the week. Will this be your experience today?
