Resurrection Monday?

The POWER of THE GOSPEL…

...Is still as potent

...is just as relevant

….is just as life changing

...on Monday as it was on Sunday.

Why do we act as if Easter is that much more important than any other day of the year?  Have you ever wondered that?

     Now, don’t get me wrong, I understand that Resurrection Sunday had to happen so that the Gospel could still be potent, relevant and life changing.  As Christians, we know that.  It has always just been a peculiar thing to me that so much more emphasis is put on that one Sunday a year.  It is the one Sunday that everyone feels more compelled to invite a friend.  It is the one Sunday that those who don’t attend church regularly feel the need or desire to be in attendance.  Why?  Isn’t the Gospel just as important every other Sunday?  For that matter, isn’t the Gospel just as important every other day of the week?  Of the year?  How different would our churches be if everyone invested in every day of their lives as if it were Resurrection Sunday?
