Sundays-a-coming

Mark 16:1-2

There are seven days in a week.  Each day has a distinct character, feeling, and attitude.  But one of those days is more important than the others.

Monday
There's not many folks who enjoy Monday.  For most of us it represents back to school or back to work.  If something is going to go wrong, chances are it's going to be on a Monday - but Sundays-a-coming.

Tuesday
What a difference a day makes!  Just about everyone loves Tuesdays.  It has a restaurant - Ruby Tuesdays.  It has a retail store - Tuesday Morning.  It even has a book - "Tuesday's with Morrie".  Most folks like Tueaday - but Sundays-a-coming.

Wednesday
It is loved for its "hump".  Wednesday is "hump day".  It is the middle of the week, and therefore enjoyed by every student and weekday employee.  It's only claim to fame is one holy day - Ash Wednesday.

You get the picture...but go to bed on Saturday and wake up the next day, and you will have Sunday!

Sunday
Sunday is different from any other day of the week.  It was the day that Jesus rose from the dead, and walked out of the tomb.  Of all the days of the week, God chose Sunday - the first day of the week.  That makes it special.  The hope that we have in Jesus Christ rest in the significance of that day.  The next time you are faced with a challenging circumstance or particular hardship remember Sundays-a-coming.
