This Sunday

Lance Cordle of Calvert City, Kentucky recently wrote some reflections about
“This Sunday” (TODAY!):

This Sunday, thousands of people will gather to pay homage to that which means so much to them.  They will gladly take time out of their busy schedules for this -- this is no ordinary day, you know.

This Sunday, careful preparations will have been made.  Some people will have traveled great distances to be a part of the gathering which means so much to them.  Appropriate clothing will be selected and worn, and anything deemed necessary will have been carefully considered.

This Sunday, evangelism will be practiced all across America, as well as much of the world.  Families and friends will gather for the occasion because such "good news" just has to be shared with those we love.  When you think about it, it really isn't hard to invite a friend to share something with you when that "something" means so much to you.

Yes, I really think the Super Bowl is going to be great this year!  What?  You thought I was talking about something else?

Then again, maybe I was....

THE most important thing about This Sunday is that it is a day on which Christians gather together to worship God.  The “main event” (cf. Acts 20:7) is when Christians partake of the Lord’s Supper in memory of the Son of God who gave His life for us on the cross.  Please read 1 Corinthians 11:23-29.

This Sunday provides another opportunity for us to reflect upon, be challenged by, and thank God for the supreme demonstration of His love for us: how He gave His life for us so that we might live.

Nothing, NOTHING, is more important on This Sunday.

The ultimate sacrifice that Jesus offered on the cross and the blessings that come with that sacrifice are meaningful ONLY to those who have accepted His offer of salvation and eternal life!

God has promised to save those who place their faith and trust in Jesus (Acts 16:30-31), turn from sin in repentance (Acts 17:30-31), confess Him before men (Romans 10:9-10), and are baptized (immersed) into Christ for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38; Galatians 3:26-27).  God will continue to cleanse from sin those who continue to walk in the light of His Word (1 John 1:7).

Won’t YOU accept the Lord’s offer of salvation and eternal life on His terms?

Then YOU will know what is most important about This Sunday.
