| The First Day |
| Here we are at the first day of another month, and the first day of another week. This day is a very special and significant day to the heart of God and the Lord Jesus, and it should be for us as well. |
| It was the morning of Jesus’ resurrection: “Jesus was risen early the first day of the week” (Mark 16:9). |
| It was the evening of His being in the midst of His disciples:“Then the same day at evening, being 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 the day that the early believers met to remember the Lord by breaking bread, and to have the Word of God ministered, and enjoy Christian fellowship. “Upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread” (Acts 20:7). |
| It is the day when we are to set aside some of our money for the help of others and the work of the Lord. “Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him” (1 Corinthians 16:2). |
| What does the “First day of the week” mean to you? |
