Yesterday, Resurrection Day, was simply grand! Easter music is powerful! To sing with a church full of people, “Up from the grave, He arose!” is believing, confessing and living to the max! Listening to children singing a tune with lyrics reinforcing the resurrection truth was powerful, faith-building. The resurrection is welded to all the promises of God.
Yes, Resurrection Day is glorious, a marvelous day for all who trust in Jesus. This morning I read Zechariah of a promised day which will come as surely as others promised and fulfilled, a grand, glorious, unbelievable day!
“Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost. It will be a unique day, without daytime or nighttime—a day known to the LORD. When evening comes, there will be light.” (Zechariah 14:5-7)
Ah, savor the promise, taste and see that the promise of the Lord is good! The day the Lord promises is one so unique that, “When evening comes, there will be light.” The whole world order will be reversed. Easter speaks of salvation completed and still to be fully known.
“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ. And so through him the ‘Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.” (2 Corinthians 1:20-21)
There is a whole lot of future in the resurrection! Wouldn’t it be great if next Sunday we could all sing a song of the future?
There is coming a day,
When no heart aches shall come,
No more clouds in the sky,
No more tears to dim the eye,
All is peace forever more,
On that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
