THE MOST IMPORTANT DAYS
THE MOST IMPORTANT DAYS

On the first day of the week…they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. -- Luke 24: 1-2

This is the time of the year when I go on “the hunt” -- not for after ‒holiday deals on decorations but for the perfect calendar I start looking in December, but I don’t get serious about my search until January. My requirements are simple: I want a week-at‒a-glance, book-type calendar that will lie open on the counter near the telephone. It must also begin each week with Sunday, not Monday. It’s this last criterion that complicates my search. More and more calendars start the week with Monday the day God considers second.

This trend, like others in our culture, gives the least prominence at what God considers most important. He chose to give special significant to 2 days of the week, the first and the last. He rested on the seventh day after creating the world. (Genesis 2: 1-3 ), and on the first day Christ rose from the dead after redeeming the world (Luke 24: 1-7 ). Under the Old Covenant, the last day was reserved for rest. Today, under the New Covenant, believers celebrate the first day of the week in remembrance of Christ’s resurrection.

Although the calendar I use is not crucial to my faith, it does help me remember that my life begins and ends not with work I do for myself but with the work God does for me as I worship and rest. -- JAL
