Lord’s Day
The secular calendar calls it Sunday. It is the day that Christians often refer to as the Lord’s Day, in keeping with the Scripture where the Apostle John says, “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day” (Revelation 1:10). It is also referred to as “the first day of the week” (Acts 20:7).
Today, by the grace of God, we once again have the unspeakable privilege of remembering the Lord in the way that He asked His own to do in the upper room just before He went to the cross. “And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you” (Luke 22:19-20). Will you remember Him in this way?
Before long we are not going to need the breaking of bread to remind us of the sufferings of Christ and the cost of our salvation. Soon we are going to be called away to be with Him forever in the Father’s house. Then we will be forever occupied with “a Lamb as it had been slain” (Revelation 5:6).
